8 spokes No. 4 reed, 5 inches. 17 spokes No. 3 reed, 11 inches. Handle—3 pieces No. 4 reed, 40 inches. Weavers No. 4 reed. Weavers No. 2 reed.
Through a five-inch base, insert 17 spokes. Weave an upset of three rows of triple twist. To get the desired shape weave twenty-two rows, single weaving, holding the spokes inward. Now hold the spokes out and weave twenty-eight rows. With four weavers, placing each weaver back of a corresponding spoke, weave two rows; each weaver in turn is brought in front of three spokes and back of one. Finish with the following border:
First row, pass each spoke back of one spoke and out; second row, each spoke is carried in front of three spokes and in back of the next one.
For the handle, insert the three pieces No. 4 reed just above the triple twist at the base of basket. Make two twists and pass remainder of reed through the upper eight rows of weaving and lower two rows of triple weave. Braid the reed twenty-four
inches. The ends are now inserted through the lower two rows of triple weaving and the upper eight rows of single weaving. With two more twists the ends are carried inside the basket just above the triple weave, and there made secure.
