The base should measure 5\" x 8\" SPRAY SPOKES WITH WATER TO KEEP WET. Upset \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ethe spokes \u003cbr\u003eto start the sides (bend each spoke over the bottom of the basket base. Use clothes pens in the corners to hold in place. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the 1\/2\" F start weaving the 1ST row, starting behind a spoke, making sure that the spoke on the bottom of the basket is on the opposite side. When finished with the row, hide the weaver behind the beginning point and hiding over 3RD SPOKE. Weave a total of 6 rows with the 1\/2\"F and the next 21 rows with the 1\/4\"FO. (I like to pull the 1ST couple of rows of 1\/4\"FO a little tighter to make the basket go in a little). All rows need to be packed down well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure the basket is wet. Cut the inside spokes flush with the basket and the rest of the spokes so they can be hidden behind a weaver about 2\" to 2 1\/2\" going toward the inside of the basket. Tuck the spokes behind the 1\/4\" weaver using a butter knife or weaver rite tool to help hold the weavers out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInsert handle. Cut the 1\/2\"FO to fit around the basket with about 2 1\/2\" in excess. Do the same for the inside of the basket. Trim and sand the lap over area. Clip together both the inside and outside rim of the basket. Cut the round reed to fit between the two. Be sure all fits together well. Take the 3\/16\"FO and hide between the the inside and outside rim (I usually go up and down once over the last row woven) make sure that the rounded part of the lashing will be showing when going over the rim. Go between each spoke-pulling tight. End lashing by hiding the same way it was started. \u003cbr\u003eThe basket has to be shaped to look like a bag. Be sure the basket is well soaked-at least the top half. It's very easy to do-just hold on to the end of the basket and take your index finger and push in on the center spoke (3rd one) and fold like a bag looks. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBerry Picking Time\u003cbr\u003eTwo sizes are offered - one for Mom, and a smaller version for your little one so they can \"help\" with berry picking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterials - Mom's\u003cbr\u003e6\" handle\/base package (screws, nets, and washers included)\u003cbr\u003e11\/64\" FO - weavers and lashing \u003cbr\u003e11\/64\" FO - dyed for weavers \u003cbr\u003e3\/8\" FF - spokes and rim row\u003cbr\u003e1\/2\" FO - rims \u003cbr\u003eSeagrass - rim filler \u003cbr\u003e#2R - twining \u003cbr\u003e3 Blueberry tie-on (optional)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCut 20 spokes from 3\/8\" FF each 9 1\/2\" long.

The profile of handle attachment (from outside to inside the basket) is: screw, washer, handle, washer, rim, and nut. Cut off screw if it is too long and pin over. Use your favorite weaver's stain.
