What This Basket Kit Is Used For
This Country Onion Basket Kit helps you create a rounded basket with open sides and a carrying or hanging handle. The open structure gives the basket a light, traditional look and helps you practice even spacing while shaping the basket body.

Weaving and Skill Notes
This project includes open-weave twining and round reed spoke placement. Since the basket has wider openings, keeping the reed evenly spaced is important for the final shape.
The rounded body may need slow shaping as you work upward. Beginners can complete it with patience, but it is best to check the pattern and materials before starting so the handle and rim are placed correctly.
Materials and Basket Design
The basket uses natural reed materials to form the body, rim, and handle. The open weave makes it better for decorative use, onions, garlic, craft display, or lightweight items rather than small loose objects.

Care and Storage
Keep the finished basket indoors and away from long moisture exposure. Natural reed can dry, loosen, or change shape if stored in damp areas. Dust gently with a dry cloth or soft brush, and avoid placing heavy items inside the basket.
