Free Pattern:

This pattern works in a continuous circle. We work with back and front posts to achieve this pattern. The basket weave stitch is in groups of 6. There is 3 rows between the basket transition. We need to ensure you are matching the posts properly and we have to ensure when we are grabbing a post by the opposite side that it's on purpose to match the pattern properly. Step 3 is critical for establishing this pattern properly.
