An apparatus for facilitating the construction of rectangular hand-woven baskets. The apparatus provides a guide, or mold, for shaping the interior of the basket. The mold has a generally rectangular bottom with rounded corners. Four sides extend obliquely from the bottom. The upper ends of the side walls are longer than the lower end of the side walls to allow removal of the finished basket from the mold. Adjacent lateral edges of the side walls join to define rounded corners. A concave indentation is provided in the upper end of the side wall. The indentation is deepest at the lateral center of the upper end of the wall and tapers gradually toward the adjacent corners and the lower portion of the side wall.
