About this pattern
A throw is the most forgiving thing you can knit — no fit, no shaping, no sleeves to match — and the basket weave gives you just enough to follow to keep it interesting. Four knit stitches at each side form a border that stops the edges curling, and the whole piece is finished with an 8 mm crochet hook. At 130 × 150 cm it covers a double bed or a sofa, and it takes about 26 balls, so it is a project to live with rather than finish in a weekend.
Good to know
- Construction – cast on 98 stitches and work the four-row basket weave repeat, with 4 knit stitches at each side as an edging. Finished with a crocheted edge on an 8 mm hook.

Designed by Anette Eriksson
I believe making something with your hands changes the way you feel. In a world that constantly asks us to go faster, slow craft gives us permission to pause, create and enjoy the process. Through timeless Scandinavian design, beautiful fibres and thoughtful patterns, I hope to help others discover the calm and joy that making can bring.
