A beginner's how-to article on making a round wicker basket from round reed, from the Minnesota Weaver series 'Of Baskets'. It opens with a short history of basketry and wicker, then lists tools and materials, explains how to prepare the reed, and gives six illustrated construction steps. It also covers adding weavers, shaping bowl and dish forms, variations (double weavers, twining, twill, other fibers and natural materials), two border finishes, finishing, and how to figure spoke length. A bibliography of books on American Indian basketry and a short reading list are included.
