Video Tutorial – Crochet Diagonal Basket Weave Stitch
The basketweave crochet stitch is one of the prettiest stitches, and today I wanted to share a tutorial on how to do it! This version is worked diagnolly, so it’s especially unique!
You might have seen my Diagonal Diamonds Woven Throw Blanket on the blog HERE. It’s fairly easy, but I think it’s helpful to see how the stitches are worked.
The cool thing about this pattern is that once you have it down, it’s quite repetitive and simple since it’s a two row repeat.
On row 2, you will work stitches from the back, so if you’re not sure what that means, this video also might come in handy!
This definitely isn’t a beginner stitch, but if you’re good with double crochet and treble crochet stitching, definitely give it a try!
I hope you enjoy this blanket and the video. 🙂
You’ll find the video by scrolling down past the pattern below.
Here’s a quick overview of the pattern used for the blanket, as well as the basic stitch pattern for the diagnol basketweave:
Ch 118
Row 1 Dc in 3rd ch from hook, * sk 3 chs, 1 tr in next 3 chs. Work 1 tr in each of the 3 skipped chs from the front*; repeat from * to * across the row, dc in last ch st. Ch 2, turn.
Row 2 Dc in same st as ch 2. 1 dc in next 3 sts, *sk 3 sts, work 1 tr in next 3 sts. Work 1 tr in each of 3 skipped sts from the back*; repeat from * to * across the row until last 4 sts. 1 dc in each of last 4 sts. Ch 2, turn.
Row 3 Dc in same st as ch 2, * sk 3 sts, 1 tr in next 3 sts. Work 1 tr in each of 3 skipped sts from the front*; repeat from * to * across the row, dc in last st, ch 2, turn.
Repeat rows 2 & 3 until you’ve used 6 skeins of yarn (Color Made Easy by Lion Brand) or you’ve reached your desired length.
Tie off and weave in ends.
I hope my video was a help!
