Plaiting Plaiting is the process by which three or more strands of a single set of ele-ments are interlaced to form a flat, round or square braid. It is used mostly forornaments or hanging loops for articles and for decorating other basketwork,and is found mainly in the east and south. There are several sorts of plaiting: Simple plaiting (7a, 7b, Fig. 16A, B). When three or more strands areinterlaced in a diagonal chequer weave to form a flat braid.
