"Now that we have our three stacks that are going up and we had our three columns that went behind to create our nice row going across we're going to finish off this row and bring them to the front. Remember this is patterns of three. Now, unfortunately I needed to add one more. If you want to you can backtrack and pull it apart, but it's really not that serious for me just to try to teach you the pattern. So, these last two, it's just going to be two instead of three. But, it's the same thing. We're going to wrap our needle around, come in through the front, pull it up from the back, and pull our yarn through; pulling yarn through the first two loops and through the second two loops. Then we're going to do it again for this last column. Pull it through the first two and through the second two. Now, when we get to this curved piece at the end we can't really pull it forwards or backward so all we're going to do is just make sure that we keep it straight. So, you're going to wrap yarn around your needle, just because it's still continuing the double crochet. Right here where I have my fingers is where we're going to stick our needle through because we want to keep it right on the outside. You're going to pull your needle through there and you're going to pull it through the first two loops and through the second two to create a nice straight edge. This is going to stay straight for the rest of our pattern. So, what we have is our stacks in the front and our stacks in the back. You see when you flip it to the other side that we've got our rows going across and then just the one stack in the front. So, you'll see that it changes depending on what side that you look at. What we're going to do is we're going to continue this up for two additional rows to get our nice three and three basket weave that we have on this piece."
