Easy Easter Basket Knitting Patterns

It’s been a while since I shared Easter basket knitting patterns last, so let’s look at some new (and easy!) Easter basket knitting patterns if you’re looking for something new to make this season.

I’m a big fan of little Easter baskets (and I’m pretty sure I shared my little Easter basket pattern before) and this one from Willow Knits is a cute one. It looks like sock yarn and it wouldn’t take much to make one of these tiny baskets. You can make a whole bunch with all your leftovers from your sock knitting adventures, or make them a little bigger with larger yarn or multiple strands held together.

Basketweave is a classic stitch pattern for a basket, and this one from square basket pattern from Noisy Needles Knitting is a great basic pattern that’s easy to customize. The one shown is 3.5 inches or 9 cm square and 2.1 inches or 5 cm tall, but the pattern includes instructions for making it any size you like. Adding a plastic container will make the sides stand up.

If you need a basket and some cute eggs to put in it, check out this pattern from Fitting in Knitting is a great choice. It uses heavy DK or worsted weight yarn and is mostly worked in stockinette stitch. If you don’t make it in super springy colors, you can use this one as a storage basket all year.

This colorful Easter basket from Patterns83 would be a great way to use up some yarn leftovers. It uses two strands held together to make a more stable basket, and as shown uses four colors of yarn.

And if you’re a fan of using a circular knitting machine, I’ve got an easy pattern on my blog for a circular knitting machine made Easter basket. This one is a small size, made with a 22-pin machine, but you could do the same thing on a bigger machine to make a larger version.

Not too long ago I was seeing a crochet pattern for a glasses holder shaped like a bear all over the Internet. It was super cute, and also useful as a place to put your glasses on your bedside table instead of just throwing them somewhere random.

This project stewed in my brain for a little while and I decided I needed to make a knit version, but I didn’t want to make a bear. If you know anything about me you might know that I’m a cat person, so of course my version had to be a cat.

The base is just a basic little basic worked from the center out to the desired size, then up the sides as long as you want them. Knit some ears and add embellishments to make it whatever kind of animal you want.

The way I figured out to work the base from the center out was to use a crochet cast on, which gives you an easier way to pick up stitches from the back of the cast on than if you worked a more traditional cast on for a knitting project. It’s kind of fun to do things in a different way from time to time.

This little project is adorable if I do say so myself, and even as a plain little basket not made into an animal it’s a cute way to keep your glasses or other little things in one place. I’m tempted to make one for my desk to hold pens or even little little scissors and sewing needles that are always on my desk but somehow always seem to get lost on my desk.

If you need a little holder for your glasses on your table, check out the pattern at Our Daily Craft.
