Free Cute Carrots Basket Crochet Pattern – It’s Carrots for you!

Hi again! How’s your Tuesday going? I’m doing well, currently delightfully caffeinated so I’m happy. 😀 I’ve also got a couple great patterns in the works and I’m so excited to share them with you! This week I wanted to return to another Easter inspired design, although you could definitely use this any time of year because carrots aren’t really just Easter designs, right?
I really do how you like this design, it’s a fun and quick basket and who couldn’t use more cute baskets full of candy, lipstick or pens around their home?
You can purchase an ad-free downloadable pdf of this pattern in my Ravelry shop.

Note:

• Every row of the sides are worked into the back loop only.
• Every stitch in the sides portion of the pattern is a single crochet, because of this the directions only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number in the parentheses then tells you how many single crochets to make.
• Following the ch 1, the first st is worked into the same st as join.
