Figure 43. Four-cornered satchel, bottom and corner technique. Wefts plaited in check until area indicated by dotted lines is large enough to form bottom; with plaited bottom before her, plaiter selects suitable line of width on left; this line, indicated by left vertical dotted line, runs out at edges of plaiting above (far) and below (near); at these points corners formed by crossing two adjacent wefts at right angles to their previous course—in upper left corner, 4 and 5; to comply with check technique, weft 5 crossed over 4 and each plaited in check with set of wefts it encounters; lower left corner formed in similar way, 4′ over 5′; plaiting sections to outer sides of left and far dotted lines marking bounds of bottom are bent up at right angles, and gap at upper left corner between near series (5′–3) and far series (6–9) is closed and the two series will cross each other diagonally; nothing remains but to interlace them in check plaiting until corner clearly defined and part of far side and left end of satchel completed; near left corner treated similarly; to form corners on right, plaiting of bottom must be continued to right until length of bottom secured by coincidence of right vertical dotted line with far and near edges of plaiting; in figure, bottom will be slightly wider on right than left; this due to error in counting, illustrates what sometimes happens in actual plaiting; plaiter, realizing mistake, would uncross wefts 5 and 6 and remove weft 19, uncross wefts 5′ and 6′ at near corner and remove weft 17′; corners would be built up in same way on left.
