"Now that we've started the cross section going on our row 4, we're going to make our upward section out of this cross section that used to be on row 3. So what we're going to do is with our loop on our needle, we're going to wrap some yarn around, and these are facing backwards, but what we're going to do is we're going to come in through the front, and pull it up, just to go ahead and bring it forward, we've got our three loops, pull the yarn through the first two, and pull your yarn through the second two. And you see now it's facing the forward, and see right next to it it's going across, and right there is our fourth one. This is how we get our basket weave affect. So you're going to continue to do it on the next column, pull it through, pull it through your first two loops, pull your yarn through the second two; and you're going to do it one more time. Remember this is a pattern of three. You're going as far across as however many you make for yourself, but I made a nice short pattern, just so we can see what this basket weave looks like. So go in through the front, coming in through the back, pull your yarn, we've got our three loops, pull it through the first two, and pull it through the second two. And you see, we have our beginnings of our upper columns, and the beginnings of our across columns. And you see that it's up right there, and it's across right there. You can really see how this pattern starts to come together on row four."
