Split the strands of rafiia, and use ten or twelve leaderswith five strands tied on to them. As the crown increases 176 in size two or three extra strands may be looped on theedge of a figure between the leaders. In this way the fig-ures may be woven closely to the edge of the PLATE IV. RATTAN. EXERCISE XXXII. Circular Rattan Mat. Soak a No. 4 and a No. 2 reed until very pliable. Fromthe No. 4 reed cut six 12-inch spokes and one 7-inch spoke. With a hrge needle, split three of the 12-inch spokes in thecenter. (These incisions must be long enough to allow theremaining number of spokes (four) to pass through them.) Push half the length of the remaining three 12-inch spokesthrough the three incisions. The six spokes, now ingroups of three, are lying at right angles with each other,forming upper, lower, right hand and left hand groups. Place the 7-inch spoke between two of the 12-inch spokes, 177 pushing it just through the incisions. This gives the oddnumber of spokes necessary for plain weaving. With a strand of raffia, bind once around the upper spokes—once around the right hand group, lower groupand once around the left hand group. Continue in thismanner until the raffia is carried around the mat again.
