This basket weave pattern uses a sine wave to generate the basket weave. The exact same pattern can be used on a sawtooth pattern bar or rosette. A basket weave can also be made using a dedicated basket weave pattern bar, but I won't talk about that here.
There are a few more variables you'll need to figure out with this pattern versus the barley corn pattern I wrote about previously. At the heart of this basket weave is a barley corn pattern (if you compare the diagrams from the previous pattern, you'll see the same black and red lines form a barley corn in this pattern). In between those two cuts are a series of cuts to create the basket weave effect. I've illustrated it with two extra cuts, however, depending on the pattern bar or rosette, you could make more cuts (at a certain point additional cuts are going to be lost).
So we have four cuts that will be repeated to make the pattern. This is the setup for straight line work.
A=0.1"
P=0.6"
Ph1=0" (our starting point for the pattern bar, the black line in the diagram)
Ph2= (P/2)/3 = 0.1" (the second cut, the blue line in the diagram)
Ph3= Ph2*2 = 0.2" (the third cut, the green line in the diagram)
Ph4= P/2 = 0.3" (the fourth cut, and the red line in the diagram)
X=((A/5)+A)/3 = 0.040" (we are dividing the distance between the barley corn cuts by three)
Set the pattern bar to 0. Make the first cut.
Set the pattern bar to 0.1", advance the cutter X, make the second cut.
Set the pattern bar to 0.2", advance the cutter X, make the third cut.
Set the pattern bar to 0.3", advance the cutter X, make the fourth cut.
Set the pattern bar to 0.2", advance the cutter X, make the fifth cut.
Set the pattern bar to 0.1", advance the cutter X, make the sixth cut.
Set the pattern bar to 0, advance the cutter X, make the seventh cut.
Repeat as necessary.
For the rose engine, I've used a 48 lobe sine wave as in the barley corn pattern.
A=0.1"
P=7.5º
Ph1=0º
Ph2=1.25º or one notch on a 288 count crossing wheel, or 60º
Ph3=2.5º or two notches on a 288 count crossing wheel, or 120º
Ph3=3.75º or three notches on a 288 count crossing wheel, or 180º
X=((A/5)+A)/3 = 0.040" (we are dividing the distance between the barley corn cuts by three)
Make first cut at 0º, advance X.
Make second cut at 1.25º, advance X.
Make third cut at 2.5º, advance X.
Make fourth cut at 3.75º, advance X.
Make fifth cut at 2.5º, advance X.
Make sixth cut at 1.25º, advance X.
Make seventh cut at 0º, advance X.
Repeat as necessary.
As with the barley corn pattern, you may need to adjust X to suit the pattern bar, and depth of cut.

Looks like the forum has mangled my images. Let me figure out a better way to get them in the post.
