Economy set “Sweet Little Chicks” and “Little Baskets”

The cute chickens with their bright colors and patterns simply bring a good mood into your home.
The body of the hens consists of "Doppelmasche" - making them perfect for embroidery. There are no limits here - you can embroider them as shown with cross stitch or flowers, but also with other embroidery stitches. Of course, you can also vary the colors and color division as you like.

You can use the Sweet Little Chicks as table decorations, they are also super cute as edge stools. Of course, they also look great on the Easter bush. You can also use them as key rings or bag tags.

The little baskets can also be used for many different purposes. Here are just a few ideas of how you can use them:

• as a table decoration for LED tea lights
• put some sponge in an empty tealight holder and drape some small flowers and leaves in it
• as a gift, e.g. with a few Easter eggs or other sweets inside
• you can also hang them on the Easter bush and put a chocolate bunny inside, etc.

The baskets are a combination of single crochet (inner basket) and Doppelmasche (outer basket) - making them perfect for embroidery.

Perfect for using up leftovers and also a super cute gift or souvenir.

You can purchase both patterns separately here:
