This is my third book in the Willow Project series, and I’ve written it for all enthusiasts who have dabbled but now want to progress in stake and strand work. I have tried to cover all the procedures you will probably ever need in round work: a wide variety of borders and weaves, but also different lids, lid handles and basket partitions.
I have designed each project to include at least one new technique, and there are the usual step by step instructions that will enable you to finish the basket successfully.
