"What I'm going to show you now is how we're going to start off row five, which is going to be the same way we were doing it when we were down here. We're going to flip our piece over. With our loop on our needle we're going to chain up two. There's one and there's two. Now, we just changed our pattern so you want to make sure that you're going the way that you just did it. So, make sure your loop is tight, and you're going to go behind and crochet up; go behind and crochet up. Now, remember this whole pattern is based on threes so, you want to keep three rows; three rows going vertically, the same pattern. This is one, two, three. You can see this is how this goes like this. For this next one you want it to be one, two, three and then that's you're going to switch. So, when you finish row six it should still be this same pattern, but when you start row seven is when you should switch it. This is just a pattern of three, so every three rows you're going to change the direction of your columns. So, just make sure that you're keeping count, but of course if you start a row after you were supposed to switch it you'll be able to see the different from where you're supposed to be. See, I just; I just made a mistake. Just pull your yarn out. Stick your loop through there and you make sure that you're just continuing with what you just started. But, again this is just a pattern of three. So, every three rows you are going to change your direction. This is how we get our basket weave."
