In its simplest form, basketweave is composed of a checkerboard pattern of identical rectangles that alternate between stockinette stitch and reverse stockinette stitch. In this form of basketweave, the only variables are the dimensions of the rectangles, i.e., the number of stitches across and number of rows long.
In its most straightforward configuration, basketweave is a checkerboard pattern comprised of identical rectangles that alternate between stockinette stitch and reverse stockinette stitch. In this form of basketweave, only the size of the rectangles—specifically the number of stitches per row and rows long—are adjustable.
