Basket weaving is a technique that creates a pattern similar to a basket. The technique involves braiding two or more warp threads as a unit with one or more weft threads. The weaving technique produces a regular and repeating pattern of intersecting threads and is a variant of the two-shaft weaving.
The number of threads can be increased and decreased, and the way the threads cross each other can vary, creating different patterns and visual effects on the fabric. A common type of basket weave is called a 2 x 2 basket weave, where the warp and weft threads go over and under two threads alternately.
