How to knit the big basketweave stitch

Abbreviations: k= knit, p= purl, co= cast-on, []= repeat instructions inside brackets # of times specified

CO in multiples of 18 plus 10. For this swatch I CO 28 sts.

I was originally knitting this for a different project but found it was too wide so I decided to make a guide for the Big Basketweave Stitch. That is why there are 4 rows below row 1.

Pattern Row 1:*k11, p2, k2, p2, k1; rep from * ending w/ k10

Row 2: p1, k8, p1,*p1, [k2, p2] twice, k8, p1; rep from * to end

Row 3: *k1, p8, [k2, p2] twice, k1; rep from *, ending last rep k1, p8, k1

Row 4: p10, *p1, k2, p2, k2, p11; rep from* to end

Row 5: *k11, p2, k2, p2, k1; rep from *, ending w/ k10

Row 7: *k1, p8, [k2, p2] twice, k1; rep from* , ending last rep k1, p8, k1

Row 8: p10, *p1, k2, p2, k2, p11; rep from * to end
