Basket stitch knitting pattern (Revised Tutorial 100% correct-English & Continental) - So Woolly

[@kanikagupta9226]

Loved this pattern. I am making it in a cap I am knitting for my husband. Thanks.

[@sowoolly]

You’re welcome! Enjoy your knitting 🤗

[@SmadarPrager]

I wanted to thank you for all the tutorials and free paterns. I also wanted to comment: in continental style there is another way to purl -- counterclockwise. In that way 1. Less yarn is being used. 2. Less manipulation of the left hand is needed. And 3. When knitting the other side (ws) the front leg of the stitches leans more to the left, and the right leg (back of the loop) is open and ready for the knit stitch. In 'regular' knitting, in any style all loops present the front leg to knit or purl. 4. There is distinctive feel to the putl or knit stitches that you can feel with the tip of your fingers even when not looking at the work. Much less oopsies....😊😊

[@trinleywangmo]

Started knitting again after multiple very long (more than a decade the first break) breaks from knitting and completely forgot to knit/purl from the back loop of the last stitch to avoid those huge holes. I pull my yarn, but the tension never really comes out right, because my health makes knitting steady difficult (why I'm practicing). I found your YT channel today and love these patterns, and never guessed how much I would learn from a single short pattern video. THANK YOU❣

[@sowoolly]

Thank you! What a lovely comment 🤗

[@Carola-By-The-Bay]

I’m a very beginning Knitter, coming from Crochet. I’m glad to discover your videos. Instructions are clear, visual is closeup, and you have a pleasant voice. Thank you for demonstrating in Continental style.🧶🌻

[@andrealenzi2114]

This question will quite clearly reveal that I am very much a beginner. I have watched the tutorial for this pattern at least 10 times and have looked up definitions for the abbreviation that I did not know. Then I have tried multiple times to get step 4 right so that I end up with 1 knit stitch at the end. Every time I ended up with 2 stitches left. Arg. Then last night, albeit, it was late and I ended up with 2 extra stitches so that my swatch was only 11 stitches, I now have 13. That's when I threw in the towel and decided I needed to contact you. Here is the instruction that has me befuddled: K1, wyif sl1 pw, yb. It seems straightforward enough and I happily move along until I get to the end. Sigh. Thank you for any help you can provide. I really love the pattern and do not want to give up on it.

[@NanaBings]

I think the extra loop for the purl stitch is what made two more loops. I haven’t tried this yet but I assumed it would be the reason why.

[@mabaker391]

4th row) K1, yarn forward, slip 1 pearl wise, yarn back, knit 1 The yarn forward is to match the yarn (loop) of the 3rd row....

[@katiem2639]

very easy to follow and really helpful!

[@karinberryman2009]

The vast majority of people who bother to consider a knitter, assume if Grandma could do it, it has to be as intellectually basic as an illiterate farmer’s wife could be expected to handle. Truth is, high achievers, ambitious and creatively driven intellectuals are crazy about working out this 3 dimensional, multi coloured pieces of architecture. You’re in that category for certain! It takes a very clear, focussed mind to conceive such artistry in your meticulous and rhythmical manner!

[@anniejayakumar7896]

So well explained, patiently. Thank you.

[@susancrisp4042]

I'm definitely going to try this pattern, thank you. Btw I love the way you knit, oh my I could watch you for hours.😃

Thank you! Been knitting for a week today (inspired by Tom Daley) and this is my new favourite stitch pattern. I really like the slip stitch on row 3! Nice to have a rest from purling and I get through that row in no time. You are right that this pattern is easy to memorise, is easy to do and looks great. 🪢 🧶 🧵 🪡

[@masterknitter9370]

Very nice👍👍👍

[@FbbFashionWorld]

Beautiful pattern

[@gregkiernan9130]

Can you explain why we need the purl set up row ? Would it work to just begin with the knit row ?

[@marienorman3731]

Lovely hands!!

[@sowoolly]

Thank you 😊

[@margaretadhiambo2262]

Thank u for teaching me,pls write for me the instruction I want to make my own

[@maritvansanten]

I love the stitch and your tutorials! I have one question about the last stitch of the set up row. You say that you like to purl or knit every last stitch in the back loop, but only show that in the set up row. Is this something you do only with a set up row?

[@sowoolly]

Thank you! Exactly, only on the first row (which in this case is the set up row). It’s a way to tighten up this last stitch, that normally is too loose 😉

[@sajanimithran7663]

[@ebonylocks9234]

@@lornairvine7037 pale lemon yarn sounds like my dream yarn. What yarn did you use, if you don't mind sharing. Thank you.

[@ebonylocks9234]

It might get confusing because there's no row 0? The last stitch thru the back loop is how you do it is confusing also. Thanks for sharing it's a beautiful stitch. I'm a crochet trying to learn how to knit.

[@sowoolly]

The setup row or row cero is not so frequent. Working the last stitch through the back loop is optional, it works better for me 😉 Enjoy your knitting journey!

[@susanlucero3530]

Hi, in the finished sample at beginning and end of video, has it been blocked and stretched out? I've tried it with 2 to 3 repeat rounds and my work doesn't look like your finished sample at all. Please rescue me huhu

[@sowoolly]

Hi, what kind of yarn and needle size are you using?

[@susanlucero3530]

@@sowoolly 100% acrylic and 5mm needle. I was trying out the pattern in a bigger swatch.

[@rubygray7749]

She didn't stress how you need to keep the tension correct. This might be your problem. Every time you slip a stitch, you need to ensure that the yarn is not pulled tight across the gap. Always keep the stitches on your right needle spread normally so that the yarn at the back is not tight.

[@susanlucero3530]

Thank you, Ruby Gray. I"ll try it again soon.

[@carla109]

I love the look of this stitch. My question is, you purled through the back loop on the last stitch of row zero, but not any of the other rows. Is there a reason for only doing it in the set-up row?

[@lynnecampbell5608]

Often the last stitch from the cast on row is big. Kabob tightens it up

I just wanted to ask why there is a row 0 when you said to follow the 4 row pattern (rows 1-4)? Thank you

[@perfectblueeeee]

because the main part of the pattern is a 4 row repeat, the only part of the pattern that should be repeated is the rows 1-4 ❤️

When knitting a larger piece. Will you just continue the pattern of knit one, slip one, knit one, slip one and so on. Or will you have to do 4 rows knit all and then start again?

Do you make a slip knot before adding the loops?

Hi 👋🏼 I am a beginner with the basket stitch. I have finally gotten the stitch however, when adding it to a vest I am making I have had to start over and over because it comes out on the wrong side. What am I doing wrong? How can I add the basket stitch on a pattern already started? Thank you.

[@RG-nz2zw]

I love her explanation but mine weren't coming out right. Is it possible I need to relax my tension? (Fairly new knitter)

[@haydendelena]

Thanks I think I can do this .. I been wanting to learn a new pattern for a while now.

[@tianadhamniwala]

Hi I like this pattern & you showed well but as beginner like to know how much stitches to cast for 36 bust line pl do reply Thanks

[@bejai1962]

Unless I'm doing something wrong, this is not a stretchy fabric so I don't see using it to knit a sweater. However, it will make fantastic dish/wash cloths!

[@momofive1]

I wouldn't think it would be a stretchy fabric, but it is dense and would make a great hat, scarf or cowl.

[@CarruthersDruthers]

Thank you for mentioning your experience with this stitch, as I am on the hunt for different and good texture stitches to use for my washcloths. ♡ I've tried using 10 row panels of seed stitch, 1x1 rib stitch and stockinette - with a 5 row and 5 stitch garter stitch border.

[@ht9882]

I really like this pattern but is it supposed to roll inwards from the long ends or is it my stitch tension?

[@amysilwood7968]

You try doing a knit only border. Knit 5 or 6 rows then start pattern. Place at least 3 stitches on the beginning and end of each row. Or try going up a needle size

[@annmoran4554]

what size needles do i use to knit a baby's blanket

[@sowoolly]

It depends on the fiber you’ll be using. Knit a swatch first to decide 😉

[@themuscleman2803]

What happens after the row of one knit slip one, one knit slip one.. Do you just continue like that? Or do you knit all and then start the process again
