Basket Size: Base: 6" diameter. Height of Basket: 7". From 1/2" FF cut 7 spokes each 24" long. On the wrong side mark the centers of each spoke, and 1 3/4" on each side of the center mark. Do the same on the handle. Layout the 7 spokes on top of the handle pinwheel style, matching up the center marks. Start twining with #2R on your 1 3/4" marks. Continue to twine out to the handle. End off your #2R and upset the spokes. Weave the following rows of start and stop with 7mm FF: 1 row dyed 7mm FF 1 row 1/4" braided seagrass* 1 row dyed 7 mm FF 15 rows natural 7mm FF 1 row dyed 7mm FF 1 row 1/4" braided seagrass* 1 row dyed 7mm FF 2 rows natural 7mm FF * Note: I cut the braided seagrass so that the ends will butt behind a spoke inside the basket. Pack well. Cut and tuck the spokes. Rim with 3/8" FO, seagrass between rims, and lash with 11/64" FO. Stain your basket before attaching your tie-on. The basket lamp adapter screws onto the top of the handle. |
