## About this template

Four-stitch blocks switch between knit and purl over four-row bands to form a balanced basketweave repeat.

## Make it yours

Repeat the panel to match a cushion size, widen the blocks, or add a plain border for seaming.

## Recommended equipment

- **Knitting needles**: 5 mm straight needles or an 80 cm circular needle used flat, with enough capacity for the cushion width. ([Open Explore guide](https://threadcabin.com/explore/1/knitting-needle-forms-straight-circular-and-double-pointed))
- **Project yarn**: Medium-weight, plied yarn that shows knit-and-purl texture clearly. ([Open Explore guide](https://threadcabin.com/explore/15/yarn-label-anatomy-turn-symbols-and-numbers-into-decisions))
- **Gauge ruler and swatch tools**: Use a rigid metric ruler with at least a 10 cm span; wash and rest a representative swatch before choosing the working needle. ([Open Explore guide](https://threadcabin.com/explore/2/gauge-is-a-fabric-measurement-not-a-needle-promise))
