Seagrass
The traditional seat, woven around the corners and in toward the center.
Level: BeginnerDelivered by email a few minutes after payment.
Seagrass makes a full, lively seat with the classic crossing pattern running from the corners in toward the center.
You learn to weave round by round, fill out the seat so it’s firm, and close the center neatly—even when the chair is wider at the front than at the back.
What you’ll learn
- Choose and prepare the seagrass
- Weave around the corners, round by round
- Fill out the seat so it’s firm
- Even things out when the sides are different lengths
- Close the center and finish
