**Allow me to present to you: BASKET WEAVE STITCH**
Have you always want to crochet a basket as a crocheter and you have been wondering how to go about it? Well this post is for you. Because today i will be guiding you all on how i made this beautiful stitch. Trust the process it's not difficult. But yes! i know, it's captivating.🥰

Don't get me started with the colour combo thanks to my friends @jmis and @therealtalkk who came to my rescue because i almost thought i was in the wrong trip of colour combination.😂😂

**Materials needed**
- yarn
- 3.5mm hook
- A pear of scissors
- And my colour combo instinct(😂 Don't mind me).

**Below are the step by step process**
**NOTE:** In this guide, there are words you will come across more often. Which are: chains, double crochet, front post and back post.

**STEP 1:** In this project, I will be using two colours of yarn, which is black and lemon green. So i started with the black yarn. Then i made a slip knot.

**STEP 2:** I made a foundation chain of 16 with extra 7 chains. **NOTE:** It depends on the length you want for your project. But since this is just a sample project i will be going with this length. Which ever chains you make for your desire length, add extra 7 chains.

**STEP 3:**I skipped the first 2 chains from the hook. And into 3rd chain I place a double crochet and I continue with the double crochet across the chains until the end of the row.

**STEP 4:** To start row 2, I change my yarn to the lemon colour which serve as the main colour for thus stitch to bring out the basket pattern. Then i chain up 2, turn my work.
As usual i do work in stitches but in this stitch, i worked in the front and back post.

I skipped the first front post, and in each of the next front post I place a double crochet.
