Card weaving patterns beginner

Creating the books in the Easy Weaving Series is an ongoing project. Each book takes a long time to create and I spend many hours squeezing my creative juices to create the tablet weaving patterns …

A card weaving tutorial on how to make this! This is an easy two-forward-two back pattern designed to help beginners figure out the details of card weaving. There is no selvedge and the cards are threaded in alternating S and Z. They don't have to be threaded that way; they can all be 's' which is from the left to the right, or 'z' which is right to left.

The document is intended as a beginner's guide…

It's a simple threaded-in pattern and is woven by turning the tablets continuously forwards (or by turning the tablets continuously backwards to work out built up twist). It's reversible, so the pattern appears on both sides of the band and would make a great selvedge pattern as part of a larger band. This is an easy weave, as the tablet threadings produce the pattern so…

As I stated before, there are two main purposes to this blog. 1) to document the woven bands I make and 2) so that hopefully readers will learn from my mistakes and have their lives made a bit easier. This post will try to hit on both points and specifically will focus on the double-faced tablet weaving technique. In my previous post, which was my first attempt at tablet weaving, a couple of very important lessons were learned: Twist is a big issue that must be dealt with, and there are ways…
