Don't you just love the basket weave effect in yarn? I do. In fact, when I was relearning to knit (which I still don't do very well) one of my first projects was a basket weave stitch baby blanket. Not one to be taking on many knitting projects, I set out to find a crochet version of the stitch. Turned out that is isn't as difficult as I thought it would have been.
The stitch is basically made up of double crochet stitches. There is a slight twist to it though. Instead of working the double crochet stitches in the top loops of the previous row's stitches, you work around the post made in the previous row's stitches. It's easier than it sounds. I promise.
