The Persian ([[Asymmetrical Knot|asymmetric]]) knot is universally employed. The Qashqais made pile and flatwoven rugs for personal daily use, such as transport bags, shepherd bags, Namakdan (salt) bags, Paneer (cheese) bags, and grain storage bags, among others. Rug formats can range from five feet by three feet to fourteen feet by eight feet gallery sizes. Some pile rugs have a charming flatwoven KILIM finish on both ends.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.459</ref><br>

Family supportive inter-relatedness reaches into the weaving procedure of Qashqai rugs . As many as six women weavers frequently work together to weave a single rug, all the time singing, talking and laughing with one another. It is customary for a woman to work on her own tribal carpet for a while, move on to her neighbor’s rug weaving loom, and then on to another companion, before going back to her own rug. Simultaneously, another band of women combs the countryside accumulating berries, barks and mountain herbs to boil in their communal carpet dye solution. This continuous exchange of inventive energy and the profound mood of mutual connection of the people as they engage in honest physical activities is, no doubt, a primary ingredient of Qashqai carpet weaving.<ref>Nazmiyal antique rugs, 2019</ref><br>
