"Okay, now that we've gotten these three pieces continued on our row three, we're going to go ahead and finish row three out. So we're going to wrap our yarn around our needle and again since these are facing the back when we're looking at it from our front, the side that's facing us. We're going to come in from the back and slide it over, and pull our yarn up so we've got our three loops. Pull our yarn through the first two, and pull yarn through the second two. And going to do it again for the next column. Pull yarn through the first two, pull yarn through the second two and one more time for our third one. Coming from the back, let's see, we pull our yarn through the first two, and pull our yarn through the second two. Now that we've come to the end, you'll see that this kind of curves over to the side. Again, don't worry, we're not going to bring this either forwards or backwards because we really can't. Because that depends on yarn being on both sides. So we just want to keep this straight. So we're just going to go to the outside, which is right here where my fingers are. And you're going to make sure your loop is tight. Grab your yarn, and you're going to go right there. And you'll see that it's close to where that row starts. Right at the top at that row, and that's a really good place to be. So we've got our three loops. We're going to pull through the first two, and you're going to pull through the second two. And you see we've got a nice straight edge going. And you see we've got one, two, and this is our third row that's coming across right here. And when you see this, we've got that row going across, that row going across, and that row going across. But this is actually the start of this row, but it just has the going across effect until we start it. So having that two right there and these two right here means that we are done going in this direction and we can go ahead and flip our pattern to go ahead and start making our basket weave."
