By Dianne Stanton

This is a basket pattern--instructions to weave the baskets shown--not the actual finished basket.

Two adult sized back pack patterns included--a medium and large. I made a large one for my nephew to take to college, and a medium one for my son. They were both fun to weave. Both sizes use a 3-4" bushel handle, available in oak and ash. Cotton straps are available for both sizes--see below. Large Pack uses : 3/4" Flat, 1 coil of 7mm Flat Oval, 1/2" Flat ( rim row), 5/8" or 1/2" half round (rims), 1/4" flat or flat oval for lashing.
