A basket is a container which is traditionally constructed from stiff fibres, which can be made from a range of materials, including wood splints, runners, and cane. While most baskets are made from plant materials, other materials such as willow, wicker, rattan, pp, plastic, maize, seagrass, rush or metal wire can be used. Baskets are generally woven by hand. Some baskets are fitted with a lid, others are left open.

A talented designer can find multiple ways to differ each of the four basic weaves. Or the weaver could combine multiple types of weaves into one basket. Here are the basic weaves defined so you'll know a bit about what you're looking at:

Plaiting is a weave in which two pieces of material are criss-crossed. So the weaver would take a horizontal and vertical element and weave it over and under each other at right angle intersections. (Picture a checkerboard.) If the horizontal material is woven over more than one vertical element at a time, then it's called a twilled weave, or twill plaited. Plaiting can be woven into a diagonal pattern too.

Twining is when two or more of the horizontal elements, or weavers, are woven over and under rigid vertical spokes. The weavers can be separated and brought around a rod and then brought back together again and twisted. You can have open-work twining or tight weave twining. Two variations of twining can be braiding and diagonal weaves.
