Openwork in which the ribs cross the coursons between two traces. The ribs are not in the same trace passage unlike the double openwork.

Assembly of ribs separated from each other in width by traces. The ribs are more or less close to each other, giving a more or less openwork. It is also called "openwork basketry" and "openwork weaving".

Crocane weaving in which every second strand is made of raw wicker. This alternation of colours creates a pattern.

Strand followed weaving in which the strands are very tightly packed with a bat until the ribs are completely hidden (formerly used to make fire buckets to carry water).

This weaving gives a very regular appearance to the work in which one strand is placed behind each ribs ; there are therefore as many strands as there are ribs, all of the same length, which start and end at the same time.

A two-strand weaving that is weaved on two diagonal ribs. The entire height is weaved. Then repeat the operation so that the strands cross each other on one of the ribs. 

Sharp tool for cutting strands.
