weaved
Moved in curves
Weaved is the past tense of weave when it means to move by winding or dodging: She weaved through traffic, He weaved around defenders.
For the textile sense—interlacing threads to make fabric—the standard past tense is wove: She wove a basket.
The distinction isn't always observed, but weaved for physical movement and wove for fabric-making reflects common usage.
