The document discusses different basketry weaving techniques and patterns. It defines key terms like basket weaving, weavers, and spokes. Four common basketry techniques are described: stake and strand, plaiting, coiling, and twinning. Specific patterns like over one under one and over two under two are also mentioned. The document concludes by listing three common basket bottom shapes: cylindrical, rectangular, and oval.

3. TERMS TO REMEMBER:
BASKET WEAVING- the
process of weaving or sewing pliable
materials into three-dimensional artifacts,
such as baskets, mats, mesh bags or
even furniture.

4. TERMS TO REMEMBER:
WEAVERS- These are the basket
strands that weave through the spokes;
they are lighter, thinner, and more flexible
than the spokes to enable them to be
woven in and out.

5. TERMS TO REMEMBER:
SPOKES- These are the strands
that stand upright and form the side
supports of the baskets; they are stiffer
and stronger than the weavers.

8. BASKETRY WEAVING
TECHNIQUES
1. STAKE AND STRAND-
involves two elements, the
rigid stakes or warp that
form the ribs and a more
pliable material that is used
to weave in and out of the
ribs, the weft.

TECHNIQUES
2. PLAITING- involves
weaving wide materials, similar
in shape to ribbons, such as
palm, yucca or flax. Both the
stakes as well as the weavers
are identical which are then
woven together at right angle.

3. COILING- it is believed
to be the earliest basketry
technique. This method is
usually employed for softer
materials such as grasses.

TECHNIQUES
4. TWINING- refers to
using multiple materials, one
that is more rigid at the base
and another two that are
more flexible at the sides of
the basket.

12. BASKETRY WEAVING
TECHNIQUES
4. TWINING- is the twisting
of two or more linear
elements to warp elements.
When passing from warp to
warp these elements are
twisted in half turns on each
other so as to form a two-ply
or three-ply twine of braid.
