How a basket starts at the base

A basket begins with a base that sets the floor shape and anchors the stakes that will rise into the walls.

When the purchase is complete, return to the original window. It will refresh.

From the opening

The base is the floor of the basket, woven, coiled, or laid as a solid piece before any wall stands up. It fixes the outline and gives the upright stakes a place to start, so the walls continue a plan already made while the work was flat. The opening covers the floor is woven before the walls, stakes bend up at the edge, and the base sets count and spacing.

The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
