8-Pointed Star Ply-Split Basket
from the book How to Make Ply-Split Baskets by Linda Hendrickson

Description:

A square base with cords perpendicular to each other, and split to create an 8-pointed star design.

All cords of one value/color (Background) are strung on a knitting needle so they are aligned vertically. Cords of the contrasting value/color (Design) are added one at a time. Splittings follow a square pattern graph. Every splitting involves a Dark and a Light cord, and cords are split to match the pattern graph.

Sides in POT (plain oblique twining) with extra twist between the splittings.

A long cord creates a rim. It circles the basket 4 times, as cord ends are pulled through it.

Finished dimensions: 3-1/4" tall x 9" wide.
