[@mangaladar9905]

Been the best basket weave tutorial so far. Thank you for this.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank you :D

[@sonyalittle1878]

What a brilliant basket weave pattern! I was about to give up on this pattern and then I found your tutorial! Thank you so much!! I have subscribed!

[@RokoleeDIY]

Aw thanks! Glad you liked it, happy knitting:D

[@blinkspacestudio8892]

I love the basket weave stitch, I am practising a different version its very satisfying to see it all come out right

[@RokoleeDIY]

Yeah it's nice watching as the woven effect appears :)

[@bobbyboy7340]

Thank you for this carefully instructed pattern for this very new knitter.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thanks for watching :)

[@helenfan4525]

Thank you for the easy and wonderful instruction.

[@RokoleeDIY]

You're welcome :)

[@allofeverything1]

Was trying to follow a simple pattern and had no idea I had to move my working yarn forward and back when changing my stitches! I am very much learning haha. Thanks for explaining this so clearly!

[@RokoleeDIY]

When I was a beginner knitter I didn't realise that either! Thanks for watching :)

[@smallfootprint2961]

Depends on your knitting style. In Norwegian knitting, you don't move it. She is using the American or English style of "throwing" so she needs to move it. Something she forgot to say.

[@susangreer582]

I just came across your pattern, and I love it. I’ve been using simple K5, P5 patterns. Yours is the very best. Thank you so much for sharing🌸💕🌸

[@RokoleeDIY]

You are very welcome!

[@marthadowling4554]

Great teacher! Thanks!

[@RokoleeDIY]

You are welcome!

[@realpeter2907]

THANK YOU for explaining this so well! Amazing!

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank-you :)

[@biggestred2455]

I enjoyed your video and actually learned not only how to purl from watching this video, but I also learned how to do the basket weave stitch. I would love to know where you got those knitting needles! The only thing I find when knitters are doing these videos is they never say what size yarn or what size needle they are using unless I missed it! once again thank you this Memaw can now knit something different for her grandchildren! 67 and still learning that's a great day for me!

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful. The needles are from KnitPro. I'm not entirely sure of the sizes since this was filmed so long ago, but I would guess super chunky yarn and 10 mm needles.

[@elvonette]

Wonderfully clear!

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank you!

[@atika4196]

Please make full basket video tutorial.. How can I stitch thank you

[@stoweboarder720]

You made it so easy!!!! A big thank you!!!! :)

[@RokoleeDIY]

So glad it helped :) Thanks for watching!

[@annadodds3486]

How many std do you put on for a blanket

[@jyothilakshmi142]

Beautifully explained. Thank you. You mentioned 8 +5. Is it 8 rows and 5 rings? Please clarify.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank you :) That number is how many stitches you need to cast on at first to be able to make this pattern. You need to cast on a multiple of 8 stitches plus 5. (This is for flat knitting by the way). So for instance, in this video I cast on 21 stitches. Hope that helps!

[@jyothilakshmi142]

@@RokoleeDIY Thank you very much. That was really helpful.

[@carlap2227]

Thanks for the video. It was easy to follow. What length circulars are you using?? I am going to try to make a scarf with this pattern but not sure what length of circulars to use.. 16”, 24”,29”, or 36”. Thank you

[@RokoleeDIY]

Sorry for the late reply, I can't actually remember which length I used. I'd go for maybe 24" and then if it's not right it's not difficult to change the cable:)

[@margarethkatsuno9908]

Great vid Thank you so much for sharing

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thanks for watching :)

[@modgurl69]

Thank you!!

[@RokoleeDIY]

You're welcome!

[@phyllislewis5798]

I love how the description of the pattern is on the screen. What size needle and yarn was used for this basket bideo?

[@RokoleeDIY]

It's been a while so I'm not 100% sure, but the needles are either 10 mm or 12 mm, and the yarn is super bulky. Sorry I can't remember exactly!

[@sarawael1943]

i liked it and iam doing one really simple and cute thank u

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank-you :)

[@isabellaholden8997]

Brilliant. Thanks.🇿🇦😷🙏

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thanks for watching :D

[@bjmason432]

Love the needles...where can I get a pair. Txs

[@RokoleeDIY]

They're 'Knit Pro' needles :)

[@superstrawberryangel]

How do you cast off the basketweave? Do you repeat the knitting to cast off?

[@RokoleeDIY]

You can bind off in pattern but to be honest I usually use the basic knit bind off :)

[@margarethkatsuno9908]

Rokolee DIY in pattern so opposite knit purl or same knit knit and purl purl?

[@smallfootprint2961]

Very clear, but not sure what to do with it. Also not sure why 3 and 5, instead of 5 and 5, say.

[@RokoleeDIY]

I personally think it would look best in projects like blankets/throws, or perhaps scarves. The idea with not having square blocks is so that it imitates basketweave texture, with the blocks looking like they are being woven together. If the blocks were squares, that would be a checkerboard pattern (which is also a valid - and quite popular - pattern :))

[@anab1172]

I wanted to use this stitch as part of a square in a blanket of different stitches. How would a cast on off 20 st. effect it?

[@RokoleeDIY]

Hi! Casting on only 20 sts wouldn't work unfortunately - 21 sts works though. If you absolutely have to use 20 sts, you will have to try and come up with the design you want from scratch on knitting graph paper, altering the number of knit sts and purl sts on the rows until it all works out :)

[@lunamotionproductions9559]

Is there an easy way to remember what row you are on? I’ve never done more than a 4 row pattern and this seem daunting. Thx

[@RokoleeDIY]

Yes, the best way is to learn how to 'read' your knitting and count rows. It's best to look up videos on this as I can't really cover it all in a comment, but that's a great skill to learn. To remember which side is the 'right side', I recommend putting a removeable stitch marker on that side, and that will give you a clue too. Hope that helps a little!

[@kancy131]

After 8th row , repeat from who which row?

[@RokoleeDIY]

Repeat rows 1-8 as many times as wish :)

[@lihbaaa]

Ahh so pretty! Gimme it😈

[@barbizzard6594]

On row 9 do you knit the whole row as in row 1,or do you repeat starting from row 2?

[@RokoleeDIY]

You repeat rows 1-8 over and over, so yes, row 9 would be knit stitches. Thanks for watching :)

[@tonimyers3190]

What size circular knitting needles and the name of the yarn you are using? I would like to knit chunky!

[@RokoleeDIY]

I don't have the label anymore but I think the yarn was just labelled 'chunky' weight. I believe the needles are 12 mm...but it's best to use the size recommended on the label of the yarn you choose :) Thanks for watching!

[@charliebrooker9461]

Hey, I want to knit a baby blanket so if I did 8x6=48 then add 5 is that right? Thanks xx

[@RokoleeDIY]

Correct :) Hope the blanket goes well!

[@lawravaldez]

Hello!! I love your video but how can i do it if im doing a hat in circular needles??

[@RokoleeDIY]

I'm afraid I haven't sat down and worked out the circular pattern for it yet, as there are quite a few changes to make in order to convert the flat pattern. However, this free pattern will hopefully help you: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/man-thing Thanks for your comment :)

[@tthiel52]

If I do a bigger multiple of 8 (trying to make a baby blanket) ,does that change the amount of knit 1 at the begining of some rows? Or do I still keep it just 1 knit stich? Also what size needle did you use

[@RokoleeDIY]

Yes, the pattern stays the same no matter what multiple of 8 stitches you use :) I can't remember which needles they were but they would have been 8mm or 12mm. From the video it looks like they might have been 12, which is on the big side for the yarn I was using. Hope that helps!

[@sandyberkon9872]

How Many Stitches to cast on if doing this blanket with 46” wide on 1 Circular Needle?

[@RokoleeDIY]

Hi! To work out how many stitches to cast on to make a blanket 46" wide, you would first need to knit a basketweave swatch in the yarn you're going to use for the actual blanket. Then work out how many stitches you have created per inch (horizontally) of the swatch, and multiply that by 46 :)

[@patriciafaubel9458]

Is a circular needle easier for a beginner to handle?

[@RokoleeDIY]

Hi! I personally use them because they can be used with most knit projects so are versatile, and often my knitting is too wide for straight needles. I think if you are a beginner and don't need to use the cable I would avoid them just because the unused cable can get in the way and be annoying!

[@AnnemarieLandreneau]

What size needles and what yarn ?

[@RokoleeDIY]

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's super chunky yarn with 10 mm needles :)

[@terriochs3545]

is this pattern instruction printed out anywhere? Thanks.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Hi! You can find it here: www.rokolee.com/craft-tutorial/basketweave-stitch-pattern :)

[@irenew6202]

Love it..thank you

[@Briannafrancis-e9g]

Why change things at row 6? Why knit one first?

[@RokoleeDIY]

At row 6 you're knitting the second row of blocks, and in order for these blocks to be centred over the first row (i.e. the stockinette blocks centred above the garter stitch blocks, or vice versa), there just needs to be that single stitch at the beginning and edge :)

[@evaxu5055]

what is k？

[@RokoleeDIY]

Oh sorry, k = a knit stitch :)

[@evaxu5055]

ohh thxs

[@sarawael1943]

i made a scarf and it was so wonderful but now i wanna make one baby newborn blanket with the same stitch so how many stitches should i make can u please help me :)

[@sarawael1943]

thank u so much

[@RokoleeDIY]

Hi! Just realised I made a mistake in my reply as I didn't take the 'plus 5' bit into consideration in the calculation, so here is my revised answer: For a blanket, the number of stitches you cast on must still be a multiple of 8, plus 5. This is the most important bit. After that it's up to you and depends on what yarn you are using and how big you want the blanket to be. A good way of working it out is to cast on 13 stitches and knit one repeat of the pattern (with the same size of yarn you will be using for the blanket). Depending on how big this ends up you can then work out how many stitches you need to cast on to get the size of blanket you want. I.e. if this sample ends up 10 cm wide and you want a blanket about 100 cm wide, you know you will need to cast on around 10 x 13 (=130) stitches. 130 - 5 = 125, and then how many 8s go into 125? Approximately 16 (8 x 16 = 128). Then add 5 back on and that gives you (128 + 5 =) 133 stitches you should cast on. The length is easier to work out because you just keep knitting repeats until it gets to the length you want, then stop ! Hope that helps, and isn't too complicated :)

[@sarawael1943]

okay but now when i made the sample it gives me 8 cm so when i multiple 13*8=104 ans +5=109 so actually it made me very upset so i made it in onther numbers of cast on and if it works i will send u the pic and thank u :)
