Easy Bunny Basket Knitting Pattern- beginner friendly & knits up fast!
This bunny basket is perfect for holding treats or as Easter decor. It’s knit on circular needles without increases or decreases. Once you’re finished knitting, the bottom is closed off by running a length of yarn to gather and then pulling it tight. The ears are knit separately on single point needles and then sewn on. Finally, a fluffy faux fur pom pom makes it complete!
