How to knit a basket pattern back and forth

Keywords: basket pattern, texture,

In this DROPS video we show you how to knit a basket pattern back and forth on needle.

We have already knitted a few rows so you easy can see the pattern. We start the video with:
Row 1 (= WS): * P 1 in 2nd st (1st st is still on the needle), P 1st st, drop them off the needle *, repeat from *-* until 1 st remains on needle, P 1.
Row 2 (= RS): * K 2nd st on needle twisted behind first st (i.e. in back loop of st) 1st st is still on the needle, K 1st st, drop them off the needle *, repeat from *-* until 1 st remains on needle, K 1.
Repeat these 2 rows.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find a pattern using this technique by clicking on the picture below.

Hola, I am from Argentina. This video was very useful as I didn't understand the explanations on a pattern I bought at Revelry. Thank you very much!

Liebe Frau Schülli, es ist ja nur in kleiner Rapport und Sie müssen tatsächlich darauf achten, dass das Muster sich nicht verschiebt. Wir werden das Videoteam bitten, einen weiteren Instruktionsvideo dazu zu erstellen.
