6.3 Weaving the seat of the stool
General:
These instructions show you how to weave the top in a chessboard patttern
To weave the seat you need approx 30 metres of cord 0.35mm diameter for each direction. The cord is
NOT included in this pack and must be ordrered separately
We recommend using two contrsasting colours so that the pattern is easy to see. Of course you can use a
single colour if you wish.
Note:
The weaving consists of 13 stripes each made up of 4 strands which are separated by a
gap (2 turns).
The cord must be applied evenly and pulled tight with each turn.
A cross member made of thin wood (which cn be removed) will stop you from winding
the cord to tight and will make the application of the next layer easier
To ensure that your work is accurate we suggest marking out 13 equal spaces on the
dowel with a pencil
6.3.1 For the first colour cut off approximately 30 metres of cord.
(For ease of use the cord can be applied in two lengths of 15 metres)
Firstly tie and knot one end of the cord around one of the rails near a back leg (See diagram) Then
wind the cord back and forth between the two upper rails as shown in the diagram. Carry out this ac-
tion 4 times
Note:
In this band there are only 3 strands underneath!
6.3.2 Now wind it twice around the front rail ( dia 1) and then around under the rear rail. This time wind it on
the rail in the opposite direction. (dia 2) and pull it tight. Then cross the cord underneath the so that it
can be wound on again in the original dierection
6.3.3 Now wind the cord a further four times around the dowel rails and repeat step
