Basketweave Blanket Crochet Pattern

The Basketweave Blanket is a must make!  With the right combination of front post and back post double crochet stitches, you can create this beautiful texture. For this pattern, I use a K (6.50mm) crochet hook, which allows you easily work around the posts of the stitch to quickly work up this pattern.  You could make this blanket in any color scheme and the beautiful texture would shine through.

Repeat Row 2 until the blanket measures 34 (59) inches long, finish on the “RS” of the blanket, then continue to trim.
