Basket weave crochet stitch:
Make a multiples of 8 foundation chain + 4 chain
R1: dc into 4th chain from hook, dc across, turn
R2:  Ch 3 (as 1st dc or standing dc), *fpdc around next 4 sts, bpdc around next 4 sts*, repeat ** 'till end, dc into last st, turn.
R3: Ch 3 (as 1st dc or standing dc), *bpdc around next 4 sts, fpdc around next 4 sts* repeat ** 'till end, dc into last st, turn.
R4: same as R2
R5: same as R3
Repeat from R2 to R5 untill you reach your desirable length. (Check out the video tutorial here)

After finishing your last row of basket weave stitch, use hdc around the blanket for border lines, simply hdc into every space between 2 sts, crochet 3 hdc into every corner.
Crochet edging: change to your favorite color for crochet edging, *ch 3, sc into next 2 st* repeat around, sl into 1st st to join. Now every ch 3 is a loop, sl into 1st loop from the corner.
Ch 3 (or standing dc), 2 dc into same loop, sc into next loop, *3 dc into next loop, ch 2, 3 dc into same loop, sc into next loop* repeat ** around.

When you reach the last loop: 3dc into same loop, ch 2, sl into 1st st to join. (fasten off, weave in end)
