Sturdy And Bright Easter Basket Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

Sturdy And Bright Easter Basket

 Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

I wanted to crochet some bright and cheerful 

Easter baskets, but every yarn or fiber I chose was just

not sturdy enough, or not bright enough. I was walking

 through Hobby Lobby and looked over and saw the 

Scrub-olgy yarn from yarn bee. It is the perfect yarn for

 my Sturdy And Bright Easter Baskets.

I Love how they stitched up, how bright the colors

 are, and how sturdy they are, also.

The Scrub-ology is 100% nylon, a bulky (5) yarn.

It is made for making scrubbies and scrubbers for 

cleaning, so it's a tough yarn. Perfect for the kids to play

 with and hold a bunch of Easter eggs and goodies.

They also make wonderful Spring Decorations.

leave the handle off and you have wonderful bowl for

 flowers and plants, and even treats.
