This document provides instructions for various basket weaving patterns and techniques. It describes weaves such as randing, close, sawali, over three under three, over four under four, hexagonal, chevron, and zigzag. It also discusses different basket bottom shapes including cylindrical, rectangular, and oval. Cylindrical baskets from ancient Egyptian tombs were found to contain personal items like malachite and wax.

1. BASKETRY WEAVING
PATTERN
(HARD AND SOFT STRING)

2. 1.RANDING WEAVES
(OVER ONE UNDER
ONE
Randing is begun
by laying the butt of a
randing-rod between two
stakes so that it rest
against the left hand one
on the inside, about half-
an – inch being left to be
cut off later. The left
numb is now used to hold
the rod position against
the front of the right.

3. 2.CLOSE WEAVES
(UNDER TWO OVER
TWO)
A closed basket base is the
bottom of a basket that is
woven tightly together so that
there are no gaps between
stakes. This is done by lying
out the horizontal stakes.
Then adding a shorter length
of stake between each of the
longer stakes to form a solid
base.

4. 3.SAWALI
WEAVES(UNDER TWO
OVER TWO)
Amacan, also known as
sawali in the northern
Philippines, is a type of
traditional woven split –
bamboo mats used as walls,
paneling , or wall cladding in
the Philippines. They are
woven into various intricate
traditional patterns, often
resulting in repeating
diagonal, zigzag or diamond-
like shapes.

5. 4.Over three
under three
All the same technique with
different terms attached.
Three weavers behind three
consecutive stakes all coming
out in your direction not in
towards the center of the
basket. The weave always
done with the weaver all the
way to the left,in front of
two,behind one,and out (for
right handed weavers).

6. 5.Over four
under four
Different term same
technique. Four
consecutive stakes all
coming out in your
direction not in
towards the center of
the basket. The weave
is always done with
the weaver all the way
to the left.

7. 6.Basic
hexagona
Hexagonal plaiting,
often called hex
weave, involves
elements that moves
in three directions at
once , a horizontal
and two diagonals at
60 degrees to each
other.

8. 7.Chevron
The chevron weave is a
type of twill weave pattern
chevron weave creates an
arrow pattern. Before
starting, weave a few rows
or plain weave to create a
base for the pattern. Step
1: Weave a few rows of
twill weave. A diagonal
pattern moving in one
direction should appear.

9. 8.Zigzag
Zig-zag twill are those in
which the direction of twill
is frequently reversed at
suitable intervals either
across the width or along
the length. Zig-zag weave
is set up in the same way
as french randing. In this
basket I used double
rods.When you’ve worked
a row in one direction on
the next row

10. BASKET BOTTOMS
Cylindrical Shape
This cylindrical basket with a
matching lid was found to the
right of the door of an 11th
dynasty tomb nested inside the
basket was another smaller
basket of similar shape, When
the excavators opene the two
containers, they were surprised
to find a small collection of
personal objects, including bits
of malachite wrapped in a
place of linen cloth, a lump of
wax,raisin,several pieces of
aromatic wood and a bundle of
plant fiber.

similar to an
egg,that has no
straight lines
and vertice.
