"Now that we've got our across section going on row 4, and we started our up section, we're going to go across again for these last two pieces. So we're going to rap the yarn around, come in from the back, go in the front, pull your yarn through, and we've got our three loops, pull yarn through the first two, and pull yarn through the second two, and you'll see that it starts to create that row going across. And you're going to do it again, coming from the back, pull your yarn through, we've got our three loops, pull yarn through the first two, and pull yarn through the second two. And of course, perfectly we would of had another column to do that to, unfortunately I did a little bit incorrect planning, but you see here we have across up and across. This is how we get that nice basket weave. And again to end it, we cannot pull it forwards or backwards, we just want to keep it straight, so we're going to wrap yarn around, and we're going to go right where the base of this row is, and stick our needle right through there, pull our yarn through, we got our three loops, pull it through the first two, and pull it through the second two, and that keeps this nice straight line going along the outside of our pattern. And you can see how this basket weave is starting to turn out."
