Abstract
A weaving knot is an alternating knot whose minimal diagram is a closed braid
of a lattice-like pattern. In this paper, upper bounds of the unknotting number
and the region unknotting number for some families of weaving knots are given
by diagrammatical and combinatorial examination of the warping degree of
weaving knot diagrams.
