How to Knit the Basketweave Stitch

[@mariaebresck9886]

Thank you for sharing your pattern! I'm a beginner and this and after three videos of this Basketweave Stitch, I found yours to be the most easy of them all and explained it from the start and how to calculate the amount of stitches!

[@sarahjenkins2889]

Ty!! I love that you put the pattern in the discription below. It made it easy . step by step. I have watched other videos and could not understand. Yours was easy to follow. I also like how you get right to it. Ty for your simple instructions. :)

[@Palmettogirl61]

Thank you for a video that is very easy to understand. Some knit entirely too fast and you knit in a way that beginners can easily understand. I will be viewing more of your videos in the future. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

OhSnapANerd, just want to say thanks for the tip on the speed of the video. I did not know that was there. Very helpful, so thanks once again.

[@emiliechaumartin4532]

Row 3 is missing !!! look at the written pattern, row 3 is the reverse from row2. Purl the purls and knit the knits .

[@قهوةسلمى]

Your Video is very good for teaching,thank you so much ❤️

[@libra74677]

At the end of the second row, I ended up with two extra stitches. Casted on, the number/multiple you suggested.

[@henriettereines6273]

Can I do this if I cast on 160 stitches for a large blanket?

[@alliesparkleshimmer9301]

Are you casting on two sticks at the beginning of each row?

[@sharonkeller7397]

Really pretty stitch! I want to make something with this stitch. It is easy to memorize, I like that :) Thanks so much.

[@KnitItOutVancity]

You are welcome Sharon!!! Happy New Year and Happy Knitting!!! Enjoy! =)

[@sharonkeller7397]

You as well!! Have a wonderful new year :D

What is row 3 instruction?

[@fluffyramo]

thank you so much for the pattern its very helpful

[@catherinehaynes9061]

Awesome, this looks easy. Thank you.

[@kathleenhowleycartycarty9846]

to knit a blanket doing squares how many stitches for one square and how many rows to do.

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi Kathleen! It all depends on how big you'd like it to be. You need to knit a swatch with needles and yarn you'd like to use. Knit a square of 4"x4". You'll then count how many stitches you have in 1" and how many rows in 1" too. Determine how big you'd like the blanket to be and multiply by the number you got on the swatch. Got it? ;)

[@valeriepayne5129]

I have no idea how to find description below? I really need a close up of the pattern in a lighter color yarn

[@lbo6050]

Cast on multiples of 8 + 5? So if I did 2 multiples of 8... I would cast 14 + another 5? So 19 stitches total??

[@KnitItOutVancity]

So 8 + 8 is 16 plus 5 makes 21. Cast on 21 sts! :)

[@lbo6050]

@@KnitItOutVancity thank you so much!

[@KnitItOutVancity]

My pleasure! Let me know how it worked out! :)

[@truthseekertoday2377]

Can this be made into a circular scarf / cowl.

[@kristinapearl4820]

Love it 😍 making a pram blanket, How do you cast off in basket weave stitch 👀

[@ebuyuoy5857]

You need to use a lighter colour for demonstration - I can't see what you are knotting!

[@tonishropshire5984]

Excellent video. I know this stitch but having difficulty in decreasing the pattern. It’s a dog sweater and I need to shape by decreasing. I have a seed stitch border. Help! 😬

[@lupetorres3421]

how many stiches for a stadarnd baby blanket

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi Lupe! I just explained that to Kathleen on the comment above! Take a look and let me know if you got it! thanks ;)

[@aderemiolajide2203]

you yarned over twice at some point in row 2 but you didn't mention that too why?

[@mamadia1]

Love your videos! What are the multiples? And can this stitch be done in the round?

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi! It's multiple of 8 + 5! You can see the written pattern in the video description! :) and yes, it can be worked in the round for sure!

[@PoojaKumari-xj4dl]

[@poploco]

So I am guessing 40 stitches to cast.

What does 8+5 mean

[@consolemadamethirdkill]

Thank you!

[@claudialucisano4305]

What happened to row 3?

[@BlackRose0555]

I do not know why it is not working for me i ended up with messy shapeless thing , itried many times i do not kno what is my mistake!

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Did you follow the written pattern on the video description? The number of sts cast on my be wrong which can cause the mess. Make sure you have the right multiple. ;) I hope that works!

[@movietime1166]

How many stitches for an adult blanket?

[@wnesbett908]

What is row 3?

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi Wanda. Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't notice that I skipped the row 3. Anyways, the written pattern is in the video instructions. Row 3: P5, *k3, p5; rep from * to end I hope that helps. Happy New Year!!!

[@wnesbett908]

KnitItOut Vancity Thank you very much, its beautiful!!

[@KnitItOutVancity]

wanda nesbett You are welcome dear! Enjoy! =)

[@loving110995]

That is what I was wondering lol

[@gregkiernan9130]

Great to have this explained. I wondered about row 3 as well. Thanks.

[@mi-micanterbury2275]

Too fast slow down, some of us are just starting PLEASE.

[@Vercippu]

+Mi-Mi Canterbury Exactly!!

[@mi-micanterbury2275]

I just finished my first one, how about you Vercippu

[@KnitItOutVancity]

+Mi-Mi Canterbury As I was mentioning to Vercippu up there, you need to refer to the written pattern that is on the video description in order to follow along. I hope that helps you too! ;) Cheers.

[@mi-micanterbury2275]

Okay I can Try that, thank you

[@ZherieLove]

+Mi-Mi Canterbury also on the setting in the bottom right side of the video, you can change the speed so it goes slower. hope that helps! :D

[@Knitweetvlogs]

how many stitches for a scarf :)

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi Alaa! It all depends on how long the scarf will be. You'd need to knit a swatch to check your gauge and multiply the number of stitches per inch for the inches the scarf will be. Than just make sure you cast on a multiple of 5+8! =) I hope that helps!

[@ABS1NTHE]

Knit It Out Designs - how many did you do?

[@abyssalice8984]

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible for the edge of this to be in chain? If so, how? Thanks.

[@KnitItOutVancity]

AbyssAlice Hi. I'm not sure I can picture in my mind what you are envisioning, but I believe that knitting is about creativity and everything is possible. I don't really know how to help you on that but if you ever try it, please come back and let me know. All the best, Raquel

[@hefinaowen7088]

Not at all help too fast no good

[@jennylynottthomas1134]

Great

[@WatchHeadsRoll]

This doesn't make any sense to me. I casted on 26 stitches, because 5+8=13, and 13×2=26. But, I'm not sure if that is even correct? When I attempt to repeat the pattern, I end up with only 2 stitches at the end, instead of 5? So, I'm guessing you mean 5×8? But, that is 40, and you definitely don't have 40 stitches on your needle.

[@WatchHeadsRoll]

8×8=64, so it definitely isn't that!

[@gabriellethomas2062]

@@WatchHeadsRoll its 8 x Number = Answer.....Answer + 5 = Stitches cast. Example: 8x5=40...40+5=45 stitches cast. Essentially, any number divisible by 8, plus 5

[@loving110995]

Cast on a multiple of 8... So.. 8,16,24,32,40,48,56, etc Then add 5 more stitches to the end of that.. If you have 8 ,add 5 you'll have 13. Or if you have 16, add 5. You'll have 21, if you have 24, add 5 and you will have 29

[@myraoldham3098]

I didn't hear row 3 in the video- was it there and I didn't hear?

[@WatchHeadsRoll]

She has 29 rows on her needle, so I'll just do that, I guess.

[@Vercippu]

I tried to follow you. But from row 4 you are way too fast!!!! I will have to find another tutorial....

[@KnitItOutVancity]

+Vercippu Hi! Thanks for your comment. In order to follow along you need the written instruction which I always put in the video description. Otherwise it does seem like a fast video. It's not that fast if you think about it. Please refer to the video description for the written pattern. Thanks and I hope that helps. ;)

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi! Make sure you follow the written pattern on the video description. That will help you with the video! Without it its be hard! I hope that helps! Cheers

[@grammieluli]

Just follow written directions. Very confusing to follow along because she skips rows. Thank you for pattern but I see why there is so much confusion.

[@joan66joshua]

Your written pattern is good But the colour you choose in the video doesn't bring out the pattern. Secondly your camera focus does not reveal your pattern. In short can't see the pattern

[@ulkerozmert5379]

This wasn’t so helpful, because I’m a person who doesn’t know what “knit one” is, or all the other words you use in the video😕

[@P_Tree]

You go way to fast for trying to teach and it's deffintly not close enough, thumbs down!!
