Cute Little Baskets - for tealight, Easter eggs and other little things

Cute little baskets – colorful and cheerful and usable for many purposes are these sugar-sweet mini baskets.

• as table decoration for LED tealights
• put some sponge in an empty tealight sleeve and drape some small flowers and leaves into it
• as a gift, e.g. with a few Easter eggs or other sweets in it
• as gift packaging, e.g. for jewellery or small vouchers
• you can also hang them on the Easter bush, and e.g. put a chocolate bunny in it

The baskets are a combination of single crochet (inner basket) and Doppelmaschen (outer basket) - this makes them wonderfully suitable for embroidery. There are no limits here - you can embroider them as shown with cross stitch or flowers, but also with zigzag or other stitches. Of course, you can also vary the colors as you like.

The baskets fit perfectly to the "Sweet Little Chicks" (see photos). The instructions for the chickens can be found here: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/58131/sweet-little-chicks-suesse-huehner-haekelanleitung
