My daughter-in-law tells me that they never did Easter egg hunts or baskets
so she put me in charge of the baskets this year.
Since none of her girls had done Easter baskets
I decided I wanted to do a little extra this time.
Luckily there are an abundance of patterns available
and I began with carrot pouches,
each containing a kit to make
a candy necklace.
For the oldest I made a lamb that goes over a plastic egg and has beads for eyes.
The youngest cannot have beads yet
so her tiny bunny fits inside an egg,
and has no face.
I hope the tail holds up!
The second oldest has decided she likes owls,
Therefore the little owl is hers.
The pattern was not exactly like this
but I thought pig tails instead of tufts
were fitting here.
This one holds a small egg inside
so I used the flap closure option
but decided instead of a button or snap
that she needed a tail...
Last but not least is the one for the 3 year old who obviously is a fan of Monsters Inc.
Only Mike Wazowski
covering an egg filled with candy
would do for her.
You may have noticed flowers in the first photo.
Those are another story
which can be seen here.
My gratitude to all the lovely and talented crocheters/designers out
there who so generously share their talent.
Happy Easter to all!
