I have this idea for legwarms and I want to to try a basket weave stitch. The only thing is I don't understand it to well. Pattern in some of my books say to knit the knits and purl the purls, but some of the sections of look like stocknit stitch and I don't understand since in order to create that look you have to knit the purls and purl the knits. Can someone please help me out with this stitch.
If you go to www.knitting.about.com and click on the stitch library, that might provide better directions for the basketweave stich. I've never tried it myself, but from what I can tell you're just getting confused with the directions. Stockinette stitch is knit on the right side of the fabric, and purled on the wrong side - when you're acing the wrong side the stiches you knit last row look like purl stitches. Hope the site helps hun.
