Come weave a classic Shaker style storage basket in the elegant shape called a Cat's Head basket.
These baskets start with a square base with the basket resting on the four points of the base, It is woven in a unique way to achieve a rounded shape. We will focus on how to shape with one continuous twill pattern,
This adaptation uses natural ad dyed reed to emphasize the diagonal pattern of the weave. Finished basket will be 10-11 inches wide and 8 inches high.
