Basket Weave Stitch Washcloth Pattern

Welcome to the second installment of my washcloth pattern series!! (You can find my first pattern for the super simple and oh so textured bean stitch washcloth here)

The pattern for this washcloth is pretty awesome...

The basket weave stitch really makes it look like it's been woven somehow. I love it! This was my very first experience with the basket weave stitch, and I'm a fan. I will say that it's definitely not as difficult as it looks!

I chose to do a little border around the basket weave stitch for this washcloth using single crochet and half double crochet, and I'm glad I did! I think it frames it nicely.

If you'd like additional help with the basket weave stitch, you can watch this video here.
