Explore the Basket weave stitch with me.

Hello lovely family at Diyhub. Guess who went on the journey of new stitch for this week? Yeah! That's me☺️ your favourite girl @Zali.bee.
Welcome to my blog. I hope your week is going smooth. And i hope you're ready to explore this beautiful stitch with me.

Allow me to present to you: BASKET WEAVE STITCH
Have you always want to crochet a basket as a crocheter and you have been wondering how to go about it? Well this post is for you. Because today i will be guiding you all on how i made this beautiful stitch. Trust the process it's not difficult. But yes! i know, it's captivating.🥰

Don't get me started with the colour combo thanks to my friends @jmis and @therealtalkk who came to my rescue because i almost thought i was in the wrong trip of colour combination.😂😂

Materials needed

• yarn
• 3.5mm hook
• A pear of scissors
• And my colour combo instinct(😂 Don't mind me).
  

Below are the step by step process
NOTE: In this guide, there are words you will come across more often. Which are: chains, double crochet, front post and back post.

STEP 1: In this project, I will be using two colours of yarn, which is black and lemon green. So i started with the black yarn. Then i made a slip knot.

STEP 2: I made a foundation chain of 16 with extra 7 chains. NOTE: It depends on the length you want for your project. But since this is just a sample project i will be going with this length. Which ever chains you make for your desire length, add extra 7 chains.

STEP 3:I skipped the first 2 chains from the hook. And into 3rd chain I place a double crochet and I continue with the double crochet across the chains until the end of the row.

STEP 4: To start row 2, I change my yarn to the lemon colour which serve as the main colour for thus stitch to bring out the basket pattern. Then i chain up 2, turn my work.
As usual i do work in stitches but in this stitch, i worked in the front and back post.

I skipped the first front post, and in each of the next front post I place a double crochet.

STEP 5: I place a double crochet in each of the next 4 back post.

STEP 6: In the next 4 front post, I place a double crochet in each.

STEP 7: And lastly for this row, in each of the remaining 4 back post. I place a double crochet. And in the chain 2 from the first row. I place a half double crochet.

OMG it's already looking cute 🥰

STEP 8: For row 3. I chain up 2. Turn my work, and in each of the 4 back post. I place a double crochet.

STEP 9: I continue working double crochet in front and back post just like the second row.

STEP 10: I chain up 2, turn my work, and in the each of the 4 back post, I place a double crochet. And I continue to double crochet in each of the 4 front and back post.

** This is how the basket weave stitch is being done**
I added extra rows.

And I added the black yarn again at the last end just to give it a cute 🥰 look.
We have come to the end of this post. And I hope you all enjoyed the process and just as i have said earlier. It's a beginner friendly and captivating.
