Start forming the sides of the rag basket by laying the coil on top of the previous coil at the next knot point after your base is the size you want it. For baskets with straight sides, lay the coil right on top of the coil below it, for gently sloping sides, adjust the coil so that it is partially on top of the previous coil and tie it in place. The knots should be shifted so that they occur on top of the side coils, keeping straight thread lines on the outside and inside of the basket where they will be seen.

Make sure you keep your coils close together and tightly tied in place. Keep the knots stacked on top of each other to keep the line pattern straight as a detail on the sides of the basket.
