This flower pot covering basket is made of the natural reed. It may either be dipped in any shade of dye or stained. The one illustrated was dipped in dye when completed.
Material
8 spokes No. 4 reed, 18 inches. 1 spoke No. 4 reed, 10 inches. Weavers No. 2 reed.
Weave a bottom 41⁄4 inches. The sides are made by holding the spokes outward until 41⁄2 inches are woven. This makes the diameter of the
basket 43⁄4 inches. To obtain the outward slanting effect point the spokes straight out towards the weaver, and, after weaving four rows turn and hold the spokes slantingly upward. Finish this weave with six more rows. Complete the basket with the Closed Border No. 2.
