A short instructional article on basket weave (2:2, 3:3 and 4:4) from the Master Weaver series. It explains how basket weave relates to tabby and twill, offers guidance on warp sett, and describes three ways of handling the multiple parallel weft picks: one shuttle, several numbered shuttles, or a threading with tabby edges. It also covers beating rhythm and the 50:50 balance of the fabric, illustrated with drafts for four shafts.
