Basket Weave Stitch (Knitting Pattern)

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. It’s an easy level pattern, perfect for everyone who completed my Absolute Beginners Knitting Series.

CLOSER LOOK at the Basket Weave Stitch Pattern

Let’s take a close look at our Basket Weave Knit Stitch Pattern, seeing exactly how those knits and purls are knitted together to make this interlocking illusion. 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.

KNITTING MATERIALS

Feel free to use any size yarn and needles for your creative project. My Basket Weave Stitch sample was created with size 7 US knitting needles and worsted weight yarn, along with a Tapestry Needle and Scissors.
