    We report the discovery of a field driven transition from a striped to woven Spin Density Wave (SDW) in the tetragonal heavy fermion compound CeAuSb2_2. Polarized along c\bf c, the sinusoidal SDW amplitude is 1.8(2) μB\mu_B/Ce for T≪TNT \ll T_N=6.25(10) K with wavevector q1=(η,η,12){\bf q}_{1}=( \eta, \eta, \frac{1}{2} ) (η=0.136(2)\eta=0.136(2)). For H∥c{\bf H}\parallel{\bf c}, harmonics appearing at 2q12{\bf q}_{1} evidence a striped magnetic texture below μ∘Hc1=2.78(1)\mu_\circ H_{c1}=2.78(1) T. Above Hc1H_{c1}, these are replaced by woven harmonics at q1+q2=(2η,0,0)+c∗{\bf q}_{1}+{\bf q}_2=(2\eta, 0, 0)+{\bf c}^* until μ∘Hc2=5.42(5)\mu_\circ H_{c2}=5.42(5) T, where satellites vanish and magnetization non-linearly approaches saturation at 1.64(2) μB\mu_B/Ce for μ∘H≈7\mu_\circ H\approx 7 T.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
