Weave the remainder of the sides of the miniature fruit basket in pairing, just as you did the base. As you weave the sides, weave from the outside of the basket, and keep the stakes, or wires, evenly spaced and gently curved to form the correct shape for a fruit basket. As you weave the base of the basket may become bowed, but you can adjust this later.

Make sure you keep the pairing threads tightly woven as they have a tendency to loosen when you are weaving the sides.
