A basket is a container that is traditionally constructed from stiff fibers, and 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 horsehair, baleen, or metal wire can be used. Baskets are generally woven by hand. Some baskets are fitted with a lid, while others are left open on top.
Baskets serve utilitarian as well as aesthetic purposes. Some baskets are ceremonial, that is religious, in nature.[1] While baskets are usually used for harvesting, storage and transport,[2] specialized baskets are used as sieves for a variety of purposes, including cooking, processing seeds or grains, tossing gambling pieces, rattles, fans, fish traps, and laundry.
Prior to the invention of woven baskets, people used tree bark to make simple containers. These containers could be used to transport gathered food and other items, but crumbled after only a few uses. Weaving strips of bark or other plant material to support the bark containers would be the next step, followed by entirely woven baskets. The last innovation appears to be baskets so tightly woven that they could hold water.[citation needed]
Depending on soil conditions, baskets may or may not be preserved in the archaeological record. Sites in the Middle East show that weaving techniques were used to make mats, and possibly also baskets, circa 8000 BCE.[citation needed] Twined baskets date back to 7000 [1] in Oasisamerica. Baskets made with interwoven techniques were common at 3000 BCE.
Baskets were originally designed as multi-purpose vessels to carry and store materials and to keep stray items about the home. The plant life available in a region affects the choice of material, which in turn influences the weaving technique. Rattan and other members of the Arecaceae or palm tree family, the thin grasses of temperate regions, and broad-leaved tropical bromeliads each require a different method of twisting and braiding to be made into a basket. The practice of basket making has evolved into an art. Artistic freedom allows basket makers a wide choice of colors, materials, sizes, patterns, and details.
Our baskets are hand-woven in Western Africa by weavers that have been practicing this art form for generations.
Our weavers are paid above fair trade standards and work with us hand-in-hand to create our timeless designs.
The Sugarloaf Basket Bag is designed to fit perfectly into the classic Wald 137 basket. It is fastened in place at either side with a reliable and easy to use buckle. The Sugarloaf is an ideal companion for anything from daily commutes to overnight adventures or gravel expeditions. Add a Sidekick Stem Pouch or Rando Pocket to your basket for some extra organizational capacity.
Stylish, easy going, and purposeful to the very last seam, the Sugarloaf Basket Bag carries as gracefully off-bike as on. With comfortable handles and shoulder strap attachment points, this bag is an ideal travel companion, wherever you choose to take it.
The Sugarloaf is designed to nest inside the classic Wald 137 Front Basket. Side wings wrap over the basket and secure it with a buckle so you can hit the trail knowing your bag will stay in place. No need for a cargo net and no more rattling on uneven terrain! The front pocket and main compartment are still accessible while the bicycle bag is in the basket, so you can reach your things without getting off the bike.
Sedge (or seagrass) grows naturally in South-East Asian coastal areas. For our products, we mainly use cultivated sedge from field areas that have previously been flooded by the sea, making them unsuitable for rice cultivation. Sedge grows well in salty soils and even helps cleanse them. After harvest, the plant is left to dry in the sun making it a hardwearing fiber ideal for weaving or braiding products with beautiful color variations, like baskets and mats.
Will the Siberian iris baskets as shown in this article remain green, or brown over time? Additionally, is it possible to dye dried leaves in a hot water bath as can be done with pine needles? Cthanks much!
I held two strands of yarn together at the same time and used my 8 mm Clover Amour hook to get tight stitches. I used half double crochets worked in closed rounds for the base. [***PLEASE NOTE that these are the step-by-step instructions! If you would like to see the FORMALLY WRITTEN-OUT CROCHET PATTERN with exact stitch counts and increases, KEEP SCROLLING through this blog post and you will find it!].
Next, it was time to begin the body of the basket. Half double crochets are special because they create not only a front and back loop, but also a third loop as indicated by the arrows below. I crocheted in the third loops around to help create a clear division between the base and body of the basket
You insert your hook into the middle of the V, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through both loops. I demonstrate how to work this stitch with a video found later on in this blog post. For the body of the basket, I worked in continuous, unjoined rounds so that there is no visible seam.
I switched to a smaller 7 mm crochet hook for the edging! This last round is interesting because you will be working the reverse single crochet or crab stitch. Typically, you work clockwise in a round. For this last round, you will be working in the opposite direction, or counter-clockwise. Insert your hook from front to back, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two loops. It feels kind of awkward at first, but once you get the hang of it, you will be flying through those crab stitches!
I crocheted another basket using the colourway Grey Marble! This time, I did not crochet any handles but still did the last round of reverse single crochets. You could keep this basket like this or perhaps add rope or fabric handles!
The Waistcoat Basket is such a wonderful way for you to add some crochet to your home, whether that be in your living room or perhaps a nursery! Since you can choose any yarn colour, you can match the basket to the decor and theme of the room!

I have amended the tutorial slightly since first publishing it. I like my baskets to be very dense so I add a lot of stitches in each round. But following feedback from a lovely reader who is just learning I have changed the pattern slightly to make it more manageable. Please email me if you need help!

During his years as a student at Pomona College (1895-99), Emil Steffa worked closely with Dr. David Burrows, a specialist in the ethnohistory of the Cahuilla. He was an unusual collector for his time because of his documentation of the baskets and their makers. In his writings, however, he reiterated racial descriptions and classifications that were typical of his time. We have made his manuscript, "Basket Makers of Coachella Valley," available digitally as a resource.
In 1994, Donna Largo (Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians) curated an exhibition at the former Pomona College Museum of Art. The exhibition, Ways of Seeing/Exhibiting American Indian Art: The Pomona College Collection, considered the "issue of interpretation through presentation and [questioned] the traditional, if dubious, assumption that exhibitions (or, at least should, attempt to be) objective and value-neutral."
Team USA was expected to travel to the Paris 2024 Olympic basketball tournament games by train, while other teams staying in Lille weren't too concerned about being isolated from the iconic Olympic Village.
