Easter Basket Minnie crochet pattern

As for me Easter is one of the best time in the year. Surely you like Easter as I do! I made one Easter Minnie Basket some time ago but this year I understood that I need one more basket. And here it is!

You can use the ornament for making the Easter brooch, magnet, hairpin or backpack clip. You can also use it for decoration of Christmastree, tag for suitcase in Disney cruise, jewelry (using thinner yarn), bookmarks.
