Cherokee Double Wall Pattern and Kit [double wall basket]

The kit includes #2 round reed. The completed basket will be about 3" tall and 4" to 5" round.

The Cherokee double wall basket is a wicker plaited basket. It was created by the Oklahoma (Western) Cherokees when they were removed from North Carolina to Oklahoma. The traditional basket is woven of honeysuckle or buckbrush. Many weave the basket in round reed for a contemporary basket.

[sunflower] Paul Hamel, author of Cherokee Plants, wrote to gather plants in the same spirit that the Indians gathered. "Never take the first, or second, or third plant you find, nor take what cannot be used, nor take more than can be used." We must recognize the fragility of these places, cherish what is left, and leave it intact. For this our grandchildren will thank us.
