Basketweave Stitch
Also known as: Basket weave
Blocks of front post and back post double crochets that swap places every couple of rows, so the fabric looks woven like a basket.
How to Basketweave Stitch
1. Work a row of dc in a multiple of 8 stitches plus 2.
2. Rows A (2 rows): dc in first st, *FPdc around the next 4 sts, BPdc around the next 4 sts*, repeat to the last st, dc in the last st.
3. Rows B (2 rows): dc in first st, *BPdc around the next 4 sts, FPdc around the next 4 sts*, repeat to the last st, dc in the last st.
4. Repeat rows A and B.
💡 Pro Tips
Thick and warm, and uses more yarn than plain dc. Keep the posts loose so the fabric does not pull in.
