The plaiting is outlined with double strand twining, after which the warps are split and the twining becomes much finer. The rim, at the top, is outlined with one row of triple strand twining. Triple strand twining is also used along the bottom rim, above which is two rows of double strand twining and then another of triple strand. The rest of the hat is double strand twining. The hat is decorated with three rings of grass wefts, each ring being three rows wide, and alternating purple and the natural yellow colour. The hat is lined with cedar bark that is plaited at the top, and then twined using two strands. The hat band is both twined and plaited.
