These guys can. Start with an "L" and add a piece to each side, alternating.

Thanks Hugh. So you have to thread each piece under and over the next one like you were sewing?

Those tutorials seem too complicated to me. I'll try to explain without the advantage of video:
lay five strips of bacon side-by-side (think of them as 1-5) Fold 2 and 4 halfway back (in half, essentially) Lay a strip of bacon across 1, 3, and 5 and return 2 and 4 to the starting position. Fold 1, 3, and 5 halfway back and lay a strip of bacon across 2 and 4 and return 1, 3 and 5. Repeat until you have a 5 x 5 weave. Hope that makes sense. |

I just gave a pound of bacon to the wife and said weave it like a basket! She's great at artsy stuff. I wouldn't even try.

Thick cut works best, too. You get the thin stuff and it tears or stretches when you move the finished weave.
My favorite thing to do with woven pig is to drape it in a small Pyrex bowl and bake it, then fill the 'bacon bowl' with breafuss!

Have you tried inverting the bowl and baking the weave "on" the bowl instead of "in" the bowl? Seems to me it would hold its shape better and would allow the fat to roll away. |

Watch this video at about 55 seconds in he goes through an easy way to do the weave. at 2:20 the bacon weave is done. Doesn't get much easier than that.
