Mini Bunny Basket

Work 8 half treble crochet (htr) into a magic ring. Continue on rounds following the pattern from the bottom to the top and from right to left.
Repeat the motif in black (R) 5 times or as many times as you wish.

Round 5: work 1 htr back loop only in each stitch, (32 stitches).

The last round, the 2 ears of the rabbit. Each slip stitch is worked on a half treble from the previous round.

Finishing

To finish, make 1 pompom of 4 cm in diameter and join it to the basket on the side opposite the ears.
The easiest way to make the perfect pompoms is with a Pom Pom Maker, easy to use and with brilliant results.

TIP: with the same pattern you can make a smaller basket to complete the set.

Finish the base in round 3 (24 stitches). Repeat the motif in black (R) 4 times. And in the ears work 10 ch instead of 12.
