Creating the corners of the flax basket
Details
The 4 corners of the basket are located at the mid point along each of the 4 sides of the square, half way between each of the red pegs. This is why 2 sets of an even number of strips is required, so that the side can be divided in half.
The 3 on the left are woven through the 3 on the right, continuing the weaving pattern of over - under to create a vertical triangle. Clip the tip of the triangle to hold it.
Repeat this process with the remaining 3 corners so you have 4 of these triangles rising from the flat floor of the basket
