The wide basket weave stitch. Hi I'm Kristen and welcome back to my channel
STUDIO KNIT. this wide basket weave knit stitch
pattern easily creates an inner woven illusion using just knits and purls we
have different widths of textured strips there are blocked stockinette and garter
textures that are stacked together in this variation on the standard basket
weave stitch this is a ten row repeat pattern it is not reversible because the
right side the front of our work it displays the design differently on
the wrong side the back side of our work feel free to use any yarn and
appropriately sized knitting needles of your choice of course you'll also want
to have scissors and a tapestry needle on hand if you're interested in knitting
up this wide basket weave stitch please like up this video it really helps me
out oh and make sure to subscribe to this pattern is among the fifty knit and
purl stitches in my new knit stitch pattern book and you'll see right here
on the table of contents it is structured with the different row repeat
this is a 10 row repeat so it's right here in this section and you will find
the pattern on page 43 and 44 I also have it written in the description below
in this video and in the book you'll see that there's a photo as well as a
written chart and the pattern is written both for your flat straight needles and
in the round on circular needles it also comes as an e-book and you can
download it immediately I will have all the links down in the description below
and you can find all of the information totally for free on my website studio
knit you'll see the written pattern is both on flat needles and in the round on
circulars so let's knit it up
to begin we are casting on multiples of nine plus six stitches so what this
means is you begin with nine stitches and you can make your project as wide as
you'd like so go ahead and put as many multiples of nine as you would like onto
your needle I'm going to do two repeats of my multiples of nine here and then
when you're done with that you're adding six additional stitches that's why it
says plus six so at the very end for this pattern you want to add six
stitches and then you will be ready to begin knitting up row one we're
beginning Row one with P 6 and K 3 that is purling 6 stitches so we're beginning
with the yarn in the front because we're starting purling 6 stitches on our
needle and then we take our yarn to the back because we are knitting three
stitches now you'll see those little asterisks that means that we're
repeating this pattern until you get to the last six stitches on your needle so
after K three then you are repeating this pattern P 6 K 3 until those last
six stitches on your needle and once you get there you simply purl those last six
stitches you'll see that I have rows 1 3 & 5 so this is the same pattern for the
all three rows now beginning on the wrong side of our work Row 2 we begin
with K 6 so that's knitting 6 stitches so those are those extra little 6
stitches that we cast on we are knitting those 6 stitches and after we're done
with that the repeat pattern between those asterisks those little
stars you will be doing p3 and k-6 so of course since we are purling we're
bringing our yarn to the front and we will purl three stitches right here and
bring our yarn to the back to knit six stitches and you just continue p3k six
all the way down until you are done knitting every single stitch on this
needle here on row two you'll see that you're doing the exact same pattern on
rows four and six as well so after you're
done with row two you will go to Row 3 which is exactly the same as Row 1 and
this is how it looks when you've knit all six stitches this is what the wrong
side the backside of our work is looking like and now we're going to jump to row
seven so row seven is a little bit different we are beginning with K 6 and
P 3 so you're knitting six stitches on your
needle and after all six stitches have been knit then you will be bringing your
yarn to the front of your needle because you are purling those three stitches and
you'll repeat this until you get to the final six stitches on your needle and at
that point you will knit six stitches until you get to the end of the row and
you'll see that these instructions are the same for row nine and on row eight
we are beginning with purling six stitches so purl 6 stitches and then you
will do the repeat of k3 and p6 all the way to the end of the row and
this is four rows eight and ten this is a ten row repeat and here is what our
little swatch of the wide basket weave the stitch looks like after knitting up
ten rows and then you just repeat beginning with Row one until your piece
is the length that you desire thank you so much for watching I hope you are
inspired to knit up this basket weave stitch I have an entire playlist of
other basket weave stitch variations and I will see you here next time
BYE!
