In reply to Michele. Michele, Thank you for your comment and kind words! It must have been gorgeous for someone to snatch it up so quickly! This is a great pattern for craft fairs because it catches people's eye :-) Thank you again! <3 Caitlin

It took me a minute to remember how to do the foundation row. Not many patterns use it. I finally got my memory bank sorted and it turned out beautifully in sparkle blue yarn. Sorry I can’t show you. Someone bought it hot off the hook. I’ve been crocheting and knitting for 52 years. Not ever giving it up. Even as a nurse I still found time to stitch up mittens. Love this site!

In reply to WENDY. Wendy, Thank you so much for your comment, what a great question! I have tried the basket weave ponytail beanie hat in a multicolor yarn. I used a yarn where the colors changed rapidly and often, but I have to say I didn't really love it. The basket weave texture gets the lost if the yarn is too busy. If the variegation in the yarn color is long (like it takes several feet of yarn before the color changes) then it would probably look great. Glad you enjoy being part of my email list :-) Feel free to share your finished head bands on my Facebook page. Thank you again! ~Caitlin

In reply to Gloria LaPaglia. Gloria, Are you from the UK? I know the US stitch referred to as a double crochet (DC) is the same as the UK stitch referred to as a single crochet. I write my patterns in US terms, where the term double crochet would be appropriate. The US single crochet was not used to create this basket weave pattern. I'm so glad you hear that you enjoy the pattern :-) ~Caitlin

Hi , Looks like there will be many ear warmers that I can make with this basket weave stitch. Going to give it a try. I have so many colors. Caitlin, have you tried making ear warmer in a ‘multi’ color from your stash?
I am working on small items to donate for Winter to a woman’s shelter in my county here in S.E. Michigan.
Keep those patterns coming. I love your newsy email letters. 🙂

I just tried this pattern, and it didn’t look right, so I did it another way and found there is a printing mistake. It should be FPSC and BPSC instead of the FPDC and BPDC as printed in the pattern for it to come out as yours is pictured. Could be a typographical error or just a mistake when copied to the internet. Love the basketweave pattern. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
