Learn the Basket Weave technique in this full-length wire weaving tutorial from Fiercely of CraftyFingas.

This tutorial walks through the complete process of creating a Basket Weave pendant from start to finish, including frame building, weave structure, tension control, shaping, and finishing techniques. Designed for artists wanting to deepen their understanding of woven wire textures, this tutorial focuses not only on the steps themselves, but on the rhythm, feel, and structure behind the weave.

Also included is a dedicated wire-break repair and prevention video covering two common break scenarios, how to repair them, and ways to help prevent breakage in future weaves.

This weave was came about organically through Fiercely’s personal transition from crochet into wire art and has become the signature texture she is most known for within the wire wrapping community. While this technique shares similarities with Viking knit/weave structures, the loop placement and construction differ, creating its own distinct texture and movement.

Please note: Fiercely does not claim to have invented this weave. Wire weaving has a long history, and many different woven structures have been explored by many artists. This tutorial reflects her personal variation, process, and approach to the technique.
