RAFFIA
Basketry

A. L. Begg
1930

This is a PDF Digital Reproduction of the original book by A. L. Begg, published circa 1930. The book begins with a short introduction to the material, raffia. There is a chapter with black and white illustrations demonstrating the two main stitches in raffia work; the brick stitch and the figure eight stitch. Other stitches are variations or combinations of these two. Once the nucleus has been built, more elaborate stitches are added; pierced work, chain stitch spirals, patterned.

There are further chapters on dyeing raffia, weaving and plaiting, and chapters with descriptions on making many crafts from raffia. Rather than step-by-step patterns, the general descriptions and tips allow leeway to the crafter to create his or her own unique piece.
