Divide the cord into six four-meter pieces and secure them to the ring. Then divide them into three equal parts. Then each part should be braided by square knots, thus twisting two external cords round two internal. To do this, place the first cord on top of the two outer ones, and the fourth pull on the inner cords, tightening the knot. When the first half of the length is woven, go to the weave basket for the flower pot. To do this, use the same technology of weaving and create the nodes in a circle. Note that for each node you need to take 2 cords from different pens. When you finish the braiding of the pot, firmly fasten all the cords to one knot. Kashpo is ready. You can enjoy your creation.
