This is based off of something I just whipped up during my mom's doctor visit. You can use one or two colors. I used two on mine. This was based on the most recent finished project using the same stitch but I wanted to change it a bit and well that didn't work well when I tried so I did it a little differently. It took me a couple of tries to get the finished look I liked. As always if you would like to sell the finished product you may just give me credit. I have included links at the bottom to videos that pertain to the pattern. Please share the finished project with me I have linked my facebook page at the bottom, tweet or instagram me @PrincessCrochet89, or use the hashtag #PCBasketWeaveHotPad to show it off to me.
