New Zealand Flax – Arum Lily
Arum Lily
1. Prepare the New Zealand Flax Leaf, by running a butter knife along the back edge of the leaf.
2. Divide the leaf into 6 or more parts depending on the size of the leaf or the tightness of the weave you want.

I divided my leaf into 6 sections. The “stem” is still attached at the bottom.
3. Begin weaving. Weaving is a basic thing. You have one section over followed by one section under and just repeat.

The sections that are up will be on top.

First row.
Second Row
Continue until you get to the last section.

First corner is almost complete. You will not have 1 section sticking up and the rest woven.
Now we will take the section sticking up and begin to weave down.

First section on the down side.
Continue weaving, until you get to the last section on this side.
Repeat the weave and turning the last section.

3rd turn

I think this has 6 turns.
Wrap the turns around our stem.
Pull one of the turns up through the circle and finish.
