Easter is a time of creativity and Yarnplaza.com is full of inspiration! We love this time of the year and celebrate it with all of our family. What is more fun than going on an Easter egg hunt together to look what the Easter Bunnies has hidden for us this year? All you need is this little basket to safely store your found eggs. Take a look at the free crochet pattern here!
This Easter basket is firm, colourful and so lovely to use while going on an Easter egg hunt with your friends and family. The basket is made of Cotton Mix 80 (colour 519), de dikkere variant van de Cotton Mix 130 & Cotton Mix 80. Deze twee werden door haakbloggers uitgeroepen tot favoriete haakgarens van 2013, dus deze nieuwe variant is minstens zo fijn om mee te werken!
Voor deze Pasen haakten we ook al een vrolijke paashaas met Lana Grossa Organico. Vorig jaar had je een ander haasje en schattigeeiermutsjes. Ga jij aan de slag voor dit paasmandje?
