Making a basketweave dishcloth will help give you practice of the basketweave stitch. It might also help you from becoming a basket case! Joking. I was trying to find some fun way of introducing this pattern and that was one of the silly things I thought of.
The basketweave pattern might look complicated but it’s really not. You just have to be able to use the front post double crochet and the back post double crochet. If you know those 2 stitches, then you can handle this basketweave stitch. I made a few for my family members and left them with some labels that said Happy Easter “Basket” weave Dishcloth. I’ll be adding some printable pdf labels soon!
