[@elizabethsielaff3414]

Your teaching method is one of THE most effective I have seen. Thank you.

So beautiful...again!

yay! Krokbragd on a rigid heddle!

Thank you for watching! I will bump up the rigid heddle video to the top of my to-do list :)

Could you explain how you warped your loom. I’d like to do this on my 4 harness but not sure how much warp to start with and how you did your floating selvages

[@wildgingerhandweaving4171]

@@webdivas1 I'm sorry I missed your comment! There is a link to warping instructions in the video description above.

Thank you for this wonderful video. I am new to weaving and have trouble visualizing how it all comes together. I do not quite understand how the light blue crosses are not missing the left arm as the pattern on the right side of the screen only shows the weaving of the right half of that cross. There are only 3 sheds in the pattern but it seems to me there should be 4. What am I missing?

[@wildgingerhandweaving4171]

The pattern is determined by the combination of how you thread the warp and how you treadle the weft. I think you might be confusing the two as you try to wrap your head around it. When you set up the warp, you thread it in a pattern of 1232, 1232, etc. This has the effect of mirroring everything you do, which is what gives you the second half of the crosses. After it's all set up, when you do the weaving part, I promise you all you need is three sheds. My other krokbragd video explains how it works a bit more! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqW2i4and8eBkJI&pp=gAQBiAQB

Thank you so much for the clarification. I could see that it worked but just couldn’t grasp how it did so. Now I do. I like the mirroring clue, it had not dawned on me. Made my first mug rug. Thank you!! 🥰

I have a loom with only 1 shaft and I make the sequences with the needle If you want to weave the pattern on a wider loom (with more threads) Do they start the same? For example, in the first row, you start with 1 above, 3 under, and end with 4 under, To continue the pattern, do we start from the beginning with 1 above, etc. ? will it work?

[@wildgingerhandweaving4171]

I think what's confusing is that I'm using floating selvedges. Basically, the very first and very last threads aren't part of the main pattern. They are extra threads that make it quick and easy to make sure I don't have any gaps at the edges. To use floating selvedges, I always start OVER the very first thread and end UNDER the very last thread in every row no matter which row/shed of the pattern I'm on. You can use this method even if you're using a frame loom, but it's optional if you have another preferred method for managing your edges. In short: if you aren't using floating selvedges, ignore what's happening with the edge threads in my demo. Set up your loom with a multiple of 4 warp threads + 3. Here's the row-by-row pattern: Shed 1 = repeat (under 3, over 1) across and end with under 3. Shed 2 = repeat (over 1, under 1) across and end with over 1. Shed 3 = start with under 1, over 1, repeat (under 3, over 1) across, and end with under 1.

Thank you sooooo much for these very needed clarifications, Did I understand correctly that, basically, in all krokbragd weaving, the exact same rows are woven as you detailed in your answer, and what produces the different patterns is the change in the color of the thread and its position in the pattern? @@wildgingerhandweaving4171

[@wildgingerhandweaving4171]

@@zehavahl Yes, that's exactly right! 👍

wow I have finally cracked it, and it wouldn't have happened without your help!! thank you@@wildgingerhandweaving4171
