The warps are paired when new warps are added, with the beginning of the warp twisted under a weft stitch and then joined with the old warp. The basket is plain twined, the first inch is closer spaced and then at the rim there are three closer spaced wefts. The rim is trimmed with a few warp sticks extending above the uppermost weft row. The basket has an exterior workface, the work direction is to the right; the slant of weft twist is up to the right. The basket does not significantly undulate.
