Square to round baskets start with a square base and finish with a round rim. I have created these using flat reed and walnut dyed, using oak splints, and dying the reed using a rit dye. This design can also be shaped into a Shaker Cat Head design where the bottom part of the sides is curved looking like an upside down cat head.
I wove the green one while I was at the 2013 Trail of Courage event. I wove the oak splint basket in October at the store. It has a 6 1/2" square base, 12" diameter at the top and is 10 1/2" tall. The handles are of oak. This one would be good for storing wool yard (or any other type).
