Cute Little Baskets / Egg Cups / Tealight Holders - Crochet Pattern

Egg cup / small Easter nest / LED tealight holder / basket with many decoration possibilities.

The baskets are a combination of single crochet (inner basket) and Doppelmaschen (outer basket). The Doppelmaschen provide the perfect base for embroidery.

You can embroider the cups as shown or you let your imagination run wild - so each basket becomes unique. Of course, you can also vary the colors as you like.

!! Attention!! The offer refers only to the pattern for the baskets - the pattern for the hens which can be seen on the last pictures can be found here:

I also offer both patterns together as a economy set - you can find this under the following link:
