What I Need to Know

Hello learners! This module is designed and written for you. Its scope will help you in
identifying the right techniques and patterns you may use in basket weaving. It will enhance
your capabilities as you will be guided to select appropriate patterns and techniques. Further,
you will be introduced to a more complicated task that will serve as your guide in making your
own basket. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence directed to the
achievement of two or more learning objectives as shown below:

Content Standard: The learner demonstrates an understanding of the concepts and

principles in macramé and basketry

Performance Standard: The learner independently demonstrates core competencies in

macramé and basketry.

Lesson Differentiate the Basketry

Weaving Techniques
5 and Patterns

Basket weaving has been used in cultures all over the world for at least a
thousand of years now. There are a multitude of uses for baskets, ranging from table
top decorations to traps meant for catching fish. They play a prominent role in some
religious ceremonies.
It is important that you will be introduced to the different basket weaving
techniques and patterns first before you decide to do your own basket. There are
many applications for basketry and the most common will be presented and discuss
on this module.

What is It

Basket weaving is an extremely satisfying and relaxing activity that allows you a free
flow of all your creative imaginations. You will feel the satisfaction if you can be able to make
your own basket.

But before you make one you need to be familiar first of the patterns and techniques
used in basket making/weaving.

BASKETRY WEAVING

1. Stake and Strand

Stake and strand weaving involves two

elements, namely, the rigid stakes that forms the
ribs or warp and a more pliable material that is
used to weave in and out of the ribs to create the
sides of the basket or the waft. This method
allows the use of a wide range of materials as
long as they are flexible enough for the waft and
rigid enough for the warp.

6
 2. Coiling

Coiling is believed to be the earliest

basketry technique used. This method is usually
employed for softer materials such as grasses.
Strands of grass are stitched together to form a
spiral that is forced into a basket shape. The
base material is usually straw, willow, palmetto,
or yucca, while raffia and horsehair are stitched
together using a straw.

3. Twining
Twined weaving 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. Twining is similar to weaving but two
strands are used to go under and over the ribs.
Baskets made by twining can be quite
spectacular because three or more materials
can be used to twine a basket. However, to do
this, you need to be quite experienced in twining
as the strands have to be woven over and under
the ribs in opposite directions. There are also
many variations to twining such as leaving the
warp open or twining on the diagonal.

4. Plaiting
Plaited weaving involves weaving wide
materials, similar in shape to ribbons such as,
palm, yucca, or flax. Both the stakes as well as
the weaving materials are identical, which are
then woven together at right angle. The plaiting
can be either open or closed. By using variations
of the basic plaiting methods as well as the wide
range of materials available means that each
basket can be unique masterpiece.

General directions: Self-check activities are provided after each presentation of the
basketry patterns and techniques. Write all your answers in your activity notebook. Do not
forget to indicate the activity number. Good luck!

 Activity 1.a

Directions: Using a manila paper or used newspaper Weave a Plaited Basket following the
given procedure below.

1. Cut all the way around the outside edges of the “X” shape.
2. Turn the “X” over and fold (but try not to crease!) one flap along the line that is
made with dots and dashes.
3. Cut along the three solid lines toward the center rectangle. Stop when you come
to the first solid line. Do this for all four flaps. Unfold the flaps. Now you have the
“warps” for your basket.
4. Turn the paper over again and fold and crease along the broken lines. Leave the
flaps so they point up toward the ceiling. Can you see the beginnings of a basket?
Good!
5. Take a long, thin strip of a paper (called the “weft”) and weave it all the way around
the basket, passing first over and then under each warp. If you crease the weft at
the corners, it will help you form the basket shape. Tape or glue the weft’s ends
together where they meet, and cut any long ends off with your scissors.

6. Repeat Step 5 with your other two paper strips, alternating where you go over
and under the warp (see illustration).
7. Show off your basket to your friends!

Activity 1.b
Directions: Make a yarn coil basket applying the coil technique.

1. Cut a long length of cord.

2. Cut the end on a diagonal.
3. Get a long length of yarn. If you like, ball it up neatly on one end to prevent tangles.
4. Line up 2 inches of the end of the yarn with the end of your cord.
5. Working back towards the end of your cord, start wrapping the yarn around the 2-inch
section you lined up, to secure it.
6. Stop when you get to the diagonal cut.
7. Fold the end over so that the ends of the yarn wrapped section line up.
8. Make sure that you are wrapping the cord very close and tight, so that when you bend
the cord, the white cord underneath the yarn does not show through.
9. Now start to wrap the thread so as to connect the diagonal cut cord to the rest of the
uncovered cord.
10. Stop when you have continued wrapping the cord ½ to 1” past the diagonal cut.
11. Attach the other end of your yarn to a needle.
12. Start wrapping the end of the cord inward to start an “e” shape.
13. Hold the spiral tightly in place as you grab the needle on the opposite end of your
string.

18
14. Then, begin the repetitive part: wrap the yarn 34 times around the clothesline, and
then take another stitch in the coil above the anchor. Wrap 3-4 more times, and then
take another stitch.
15. Then you can wrap and stitch, when you’re ready to end your basket, tape it and end
it on the diagonal.

Congratulations! You did a great

job! Good luck as you move on to the next
lesson.
