Stake Basket
Choose eight long, medium willow shoots to serve as the basket's "stakes." These are the vertical pieces that form the structure of the sides of the basket.
Use your knife to sharpen the end into points. Insert a stake alongside each of your spokes, pushing each one down into the weaves as close to the center as possible.
Bend the stakes so they are pointing upward toward the sky.
Use knife, to trim the spokes back so they're level with the edge of the weaves, then tie the stakes together at their tips to keep them in place.
Weave two rows of three rod wale. This weave requires three weavers, which are woven among the stakes to set them in position. Find three long, thin shoots. Sharpen the ends into points.
Insert the shoots into the base of the basket on the left side of three consecutive stakes.
Now do two rows of the weave as follows: Bend the far left weaver to the right in front of two stakes.
Pass it behind the third stake and out to the front. Take the next far left weaver and bend it to the right in front of two stakes. Pass it behind the third stake and out to the front.
Continue weaving this way, always starting with the far left weaver, until you have two rows of three rod Wale.
Untie Stakes
Add weavers to the sides of the basket. Find eight long thin shoots. Use your knife to sharpen the ends into points. Insert one, when you start with new shoots you will always sharpen them first.
Now insert one weaver into the basket behind a stake.
Bend it over the next stake to the left, pass it behind the stake to the left of that one, and pass it back to the front. Now insert a second weaver behind the stake to the right of the starting point of your first weaver and do the same - pass it over the stake to the left, under the stake to the left of that one and back to the front. Continue adding weavers this way until there is one weaver next to each stake.
