Stripes and Circles round reed pattern

$5.00

The "Stripes and Circles" pattern details the steps required to weave a basket centered about a 4" round acrylic bloom base that utilizes #4 round reed spokes. The pattern uses 41 photos within 11 pages to give clear instructions for creating a "loop in a loop", a circle border, and how to add a basket foot using larks' head knots. Spoke templates and "Common Techniques" are available as free downloads from this website.

The picture shown has a wood base with a "Sheleeart" style acrylic bloom coated with 1-2 layers of epoxy. These are available for purchase within this website. This pattern may be scaled for a 4", 5" or 6" base. To achieve similar spoke gaps, the 4" would use (32) spokes, the 5" would use (40) spokes and the 6" would use (48) spokes. The weaver would be responsible for ensuring ample weaving material as the larger/smaller diameter may require more/less reed.

You must be familiar with basic basket weaving techniques.
