Pattern #2 Waffle Weave

Pattern #2 Waffle Weave. 3/2 pearl cotton at 12 ends per inch.

This pattern uses a pick-up stick to weave warp and weft floats to create the pattern. To use a pick-up stick, place the heddle in the down position. Behind the heddles, pick up raised warps. For this pattern pick up 2 up and 2 down. Slide the pick up stick to the back of the loom until you need it.

Weave pattern:

  1. Up
  2. Pick-up stick (bring forward behind heddle and turn on edge)
  3. Up
  4. Pick-up stick
  5. Up
  6. Down
  7. Up and pattern stick (place heddle in up position and slide stick up to heddle but do not turn it on edge)
  8. Down
