The color changing yarn is the brilliance in this basket weave look stitch pattern. No need to change colors as you go. The effect is stunning!

I have included two edging options, loads of photos, video links for the blanket stitch and the popcorn edge so you can see how to crochet both of those.

Easily make it larger or smaller to fit your needs. Pattern is worked from the corner out to desired width, then decreasing to the end.

Skill level:
easy: basic stitches, minimal shaping, simple finishing.

The smaller hook size is to keep the edging from ruffling.
