This is my basket weave neck warmer or can be used as a toddler poncho.
I used the red knifty knitter which is the circular loom. I cast on 20 pegs and knit as a flat
panel with a garter stitch
fashion of one row knit and one row purl until I reached 7 rows in length. After that , I divided my 20 pegs into 4 pegs each. the first 4 pegs I knit and the next 4 I purled and the next 4 I knit and the next 4 I purls and the last roe I knit. I repeated this coming back making sure where I knit I knit and where I purled I purled. I repeated this for 8 rows in length. Then I did the opposite of the first 8 rows. Where I knit I purled and where I purled I knit for up to 8 rows in length. I did this until I reached my desired neck wrap length. At this point I kept the 20 pegs divided into 4 where I treated and worked each group of 4 pegs in a knit stitch as a flat panel about 20 rows in length.
After that I bind off all 5 groups of 4 pegs from the loom. I then weaved by hand the small flat panels as a basket weave one row over and under the other. I then took my ends and placed them back on the loom so the weave would stay in place. I continued in a garter stitch fashion for about 7-8 rows and then bind off in a crochet bind off. I added a collar by crocheting around and voila a neck warmer was born.
