I filled them with chocolate easter eggs for my daughters.

| Free crochet pattern gift basket. |
I am sorry for the quality of the photo, I am working on it!
You will need:
2 scraps of double knit (worsted weight yarn) I use Robin Dk (100% Acrylic)
6mm hook (US size J)
ribbon.
Holding two strands together throughout to create a thicker and sturdy basket.
Ch 3, sl. stich into 1st chain.
12 dc into loop. sl. stitch last dc to first dc.
Ch 3, *1dc into first stitch, 2dc both into second stitch* continue to end. Join with sl. stitch
Base complete.
For the first row of the side of the basket you need to stitch into the back post only.
If you are unfamiliar with this technique there is a how to here
so just dc in each stitch around using the back post only.
3ch, Dc for next two rows. remembering to sl. stitch from last dc to first.
last row : - 4ch., miss a dc, *1dc, ch1, miss a dc, 1dc* frin * to end. Ch 20 and attach firmly to opposite side of basket to make handle.
Fasten off.
Thread ribbon through holes made in last row and either make a bow or sew on a tiny flower
Attic 24 has a good pattern for tiny flowers here
I changed the colours for one flower and the other I did in one colour but also sewed a tiny button on.
This pattern has not been tested, so please comment if you have any problems.
