Basketweave Photo Tutorial

These photos are showing how the basket weave is worked over a multiple of 8 plus 6.

This swatch shows the basketweave crochet stitch set up so that you start and end with the same stitches.

If you look at these photos you will see that the swatch starts with 4 FPdc and ends with 4 FPdc so that it is symmetrical with the exception of the STsc and hdc at the start and end of every row. Those stitches work as an anchor to create a more clean and straight edge.

The scarf pattern above starts with 4 FPdc and ends with 4 BPdc again with the exception of the STsc and hdc at the beginning and end.

Please use these row by row photos below to help you visualize the basketweave crochet stitch.

Watch the video tutorial if you would like to see this stitch created in real time.
