Spring Mural Basket: Beginner Crochet Tutorial

This is an easy and beautiful basket! We are creating a mural so it can be whatever you want using a gradient background technique and then adding very simple appliques. I am making mine for Valentine's Day and Springtime. It is beautiful as a plant basket but would also make a great little Easter Basket. I am now a Lion Brand, We Crochet and Dollar Tree Affiliate. If you are in need of yarn for these projects, check out their websites in the links below! I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you if you choose to purchase from any of these links.

It's a lovely group of supportive, crafty people who love to help. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginellsquarantinecrochet I hope you enjoy this free tutorial! This is a labor of love for me. I make a small amount from ads on YouTube and an even smaller amount from the Amazon Affiliate program but it really barely covers materials (at least at the time of this video). But crochet has gotten me through some rough moments in life. It brings me joy and I hope to spread that joy to others. #freecrochettutorial #crochetbasket #easycrochetproject
