Easter Basket designed by Marlene O’Reilly

The pattern for the delightful little basket is available to download, or you can request a printed copy. It has full instructions with diagrams and photographs for all the techniques you will use. Experience of peyote stitch and herringbone weave is recommended. This 16-page pattern is £8.95 and includes the Miyuki numbers for the beads I used in the 2 samples shown.

It is now also available as a full kit in a choice of 2 colours for £19.95.

If you already have the pattern, and want to make more baskets, then a bead pack is also available. Bead packs for the same 2 colours as the kit are £12.00, and include needles, thread and the wire, as well as the beads.

The basket is the perfect size for those creamy eggs with the purple wrapper!

This is the gold option filled with yumminess!

I can make up the kits/bead packs in any colours you like, so if you want something a bit different, just drop me an email – kathryn@halfpenney.co.uk.
