Basketweave Throw [Ravel-It!]
I have been sick with a nasty nasty cold, so I decided to do some major stashbusting. I had 6 skeins of homespun yarn, so I decided to make a throw. With these colors, it would be a perfect baby boy blanket… so soft too! Learn how to turn your crochet talent into a business!

I tried this and found all the front posts were in the same row going up as well as the backposts. What am I dong wrong?
You have to rotate every 5-6 rows or it won’t turn out weaved….it’ll look like large rows.
Hi,
I saw the tutorial links for the front post double crochet (FPDC) and back post double crochet (BPDC) were changed, so I went ahead and updated them. If you are still having trouble with the stitches, please do not hesitate to let me know!
Is this the the updated version of this pattern? Thanks.
Is the corrected tutorial for this pattern still available. If so, where?
Thanks.
This is the correct and most updated version of this pattern. 🙂
