Sloped Gathering Basket


This little basket uses a 4 x 6 D handle.  I use it to hold packages of seed for my garden.  To create the slope up each side, you simply do not weave all the way around the basket.  You only weave from the left and stop at the right.  Each time you do that you move in one stake.  For the rim row at the top which is hidden, I twined with round reed for 2 rows and then lashed the rim onto the twining.
Have a Blessed Sunday,

  1. Wow, you have some beautiful things here! I especially like this one. I don't think I've ever met anyone who makes baskets.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog AND for becoming a 'Follower'. I'm really excited, because I love to make new blog friends. :0) I really hope you will come by and visit me again soon. I just became your newest Follower and I look forward to reading more of your blog soon and seeing more of your beautifully crafted baskets.

    I hope you are having a wonderful day!
