If a basket weave knot is tied with a flat line such as ribbon instead of a round line such as rope or cord, the method of turning the line at the edges affects the final appearance. Deflecting the line will form a series of bights or scallops along the edge, while folding it over will leave the edge

In the granny knot, the standing ends enter the short side, while in the double coin knot, the standing ends enter the long side. Therefore, any of these knots could be used for a lanyard. In the carrick bend, which is otherwise similar to the double coin knot, the standing ends enter opposite long

A basket weave knot is made up of two sets of parallel lines drawn inside a rectangle such that the lines meet at the edges of the rectangle. For a true basket weave knot that can be tied with two strands, the number of intersections in each direction cannot have a common

because they can be tied in a lanyard. For knots in which the standing ends enter from different sides of the rectangle, the bight will wrap across one side of the knot after it is set.

The simplest basket weave knots consist of a two–by–three rectangle of intersections and include the following:
