How has basketry been used to make hats and sandals?

In the context of basketry, these items are frequently crafted using various plaiting techniques to create functional footwear and headwear.1

• Sandals: Basketry is commonly used to produce shoes, particularly sandals. These items are often plaited from a variety of materials and can range in design from simple soles to styles that nearly cover the entire foot.1
• Hats: Basketry is widely employed to create hats, including conical hats, which are especially common in eastern Asia, as well as various brimmed hats and skullcaps found throughout Africa, the Americas, and Europe.1

These applications rely on the inherent flexibility and structural properties of basketry techniques, allowing for the creation of wearable items that are both lightweight and durable.12
