In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the mini basket weave stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a double crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a back post double crochet and a front post double crochet. The mini basket weave stitch is a repeat of four rows. The fabric has a beautiful texture and it is quite thick. It is a reversible crochet stitch and it looks the same on both sides.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: blue agave, and a 2.0 mm hook.
