About the Mini Basketweave Stitch

The Mini Basketweave Stitch is a smaller-scale version of the traditional basketweave. It uses simple front and back post stitches to create a woven look without feeling bulky or overwhelming—making it ideal for a sampler blanket.

Why this stitch works so well here:

• 🧺 Creates a classic woven texture
• 🧶 Adds structure and depth to the blanket
• ✨ Smaller repeat keeps it balanced with other stitches
• 💕 Looks beautiful in both solids and scraps

This stitch gives your blanket a cozy, comforting section—like a little textured pause in the middle of the sampler.

Ready to Crochet Part 5?

Grab your yarn and let’s add the Mini Basketweave Stitch to our stitch sampler blanket! 🧺🧶
This cozy, textured section adds such a classic handmade feel, and it’s going to look amazing alongside the other stitches once the blanket is complete.

Happy crocheting—I can’t wait to see your Week 5 sections! 🌷💕

· written in US terms

· ch 1 does not count as sc

· ch 2 does not count as dc

· This stitch requires a starting chain of any even number

· This stitch looks great with any color combinations. I used 3 colors and changed color every row.

· If you use 3 colors and change color every row, do not fasten off. Carry the yarn.

Scrapghan Tips

· This blanket will use different hook sizes depending on the stitch. Some stitches work up tighter than others. Even with changing hook sizes, the blanket will not have completely straight edges.

· Feel free to adjust your hook size according to how you crochet.

· This blanket requires a foundation row that is a multiple of 24 + 2.

· The starting chain requirement for this particular stitch is given in the pattern notes (this may or may not match what was used for the entire blanket). This is just a note given for use of this stitch in other projects, not for this blanket.

· Each part starts over at row 1 of that stitch. Be sure to place a stitch marker and the last stitch of each part to mark where the next part begins.
