The Basket Weave Stitch Pattern gives a complex illusion of a woven knit, but all you need to know is how to Knit and Purl. This 12-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern is a great stitch for scarves, hats, blankets, and more! I love the look of a Basket Weave pillow.

CLOSER LOOK at the Basket Weave Stitch Pattern
This is not a reversible pattern, meaning that the Right and Wrong sides look different. The Right side (front) has the pattern design and the Wrong side (back) has a smooth inverted texture.
