"Across" Pattern on Row 4 of Basket Weave Crochet Pattern

Video Transcript

"After finishing row three and we have our loop on our needle just from finishing up our last outside piece, we're going to flip our work over. And you can see, it's much easier to see the pattern from this direction because we have mostly our facing forward ones and then just our one piece that goes to the back, and you can really kind of see the pattern obviously here. Now what we're going to do is we're going to chain up two, and this is very important because this keeps our sides straight, which is really important throughout, to keep consistent throughout your piece and also sets the tone for the height of the rest of our piece. If you forget to chain up two, what's going to happen it's going to bend in forward, and you're going to end up coming up short, and you'll really notice it when you work back on the next row. So you really want to make sure, this is a very important step, you really don't want to forget it. Now let me chain up two; what we're going to do is we're going to reverse our pattern. This is our forward column, but what we're going to do is we're going to pull it backwards now. So you're going to come in from the back, and then go on the front of it, pull your yarn through, you got the three loops, pull your yarn through the first two, and pull your yarn through the second two. And you're going to do it again, because remember we do it in groups of threes. Coming from the back, and over, pull it through, we got three loops, do the first two, through the second two, one more time; from the back, we got three loops, pull it through the first two, and pull it through the second two. And you see what we've created is a row that's going across. And you see we got our three right here, but we've got our nice row that's going across, to start our next set of three rows high so we can continue our pattern, so that's all you do, is switch it up. And I'm going to show you how to continue and finish out this row to keep this pattern going."
