This Basket Loop Stitch Knitting Pattern is an easy pattern that creates a textured illusion of looping interwoven rings atop a background of vertical pillars.
Get your free written pattern instructions with video tutorials below. You may also purchase my ad-free Knit Stitch Pattern Book in both hardcopy and e-book formats.
This 14-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern looks complex, but it really just a simple combination of knits and purls. As a result, it is a great choice for knitting up pillows a visually appealing design.
IS THE BASKET LOOP STITCH A REVERSIBLE PATTERN?
This Basket Loop design has ring shapes knitted with the Garter Stitch texture. They rest atop a background of the Stockinette Stitch.
This is not a reversible pattern because the right side of the work displays the design, but you can see that the wrong (back) side does not.
