Bob's Sturdy Market Basket
|
This market basket is taught with the permission of the designer and pattern
writer, Susan Coyle. The name says it all. The base is woven with three
quarter inch spokes no more than a quarter inch apart. This may make the
first three rows more difficult than weavers have experienced before. The
tightly woven base and solid five eighths inch half round outside rim give
this market basket the sturdiness of its namesake – Bob (as in Coyle). The
push in 14” handle finishes the project. Students will have limited choice
for color selection and may not complete the basket during the class.
