The steps involved maybe more readily visualized if it is imagined first that the basket is heldas during ordinary sewing. The first hole (1), Figure 13, a, h, is madewith the awl in the coil (4) to which the rim coil (.5) is being sewedand the splint is drawn tlirough it, away from the worker as far asdesired, usually until the butt end almost disappears in the coU at (1).The length is then brought buck up over the rim a little to the rightand a hole (2) perforated near the top of the bunch of splints that arebeing covered (5), almost over the one (1) which has just been madein the coU below. Through this the splint passes again in the direc-tion away from the worker, and after it has been pulled tight (2)it is brought back up over the rim again, this time crossing thediagonal whip stitch which it made before, and coming down to theright, where it penetrates a hole (3) made for it just to the right of the. Fig. H.—Braided rims; Klickitat first hole (1). From here on the process is repeated indefinitely,always to the right, and a braid stitch is the result. Looking downon top of the rim, the appearance is that of a series of slightly over-lapping Vs or chevrons (fig. 13, c). Figure 14 shows another variety (Klickitat) where the braidingUes on top of the coil instead of being sewed to it. The lower coil isperforated as before, and the splint is pushed or drawn through itswhole length, then brought up over the rim and down to the right,where it enters a second hole made beside the first one (fig. 13, a, 2).This gives the necessary starter, for without the diagonal whipstitch across the top there would be nothing to start the braid the splint has been pulled tlirough the second hole, however,away from the worker, it is brought up over the rim again (fig. 14,a, 2), but this time c
