- This weaving tutorial on a rigid heddle table loom shows you everything from warping up the Houndstooth pattern to tying off the fringe. It's not a hard pattern, and it's so pretty!

Thank you for showing us your dogs!
Thanks for all the great tips, especially to knot one end while it's still on the loom - brilliant :)
You're welcome! Happy weaving!
I’ve just started weaving and I want to thank you, you are an amazing teacher!! I look forward to watching more of your videos!
So glad I could help! Welcome to weaving :)
Salve, ho provato ma il disegno non si forma, non so dove ho sbagliato. Grazie
Thank you very much!This is a very useful lesson for me!
Be healthy!
Hello from Russia!🌺🌺🌺
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Ma'am, you did a beautiful job weaving and your tutorial was very informative, even when i am not planing on weaving myself
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful, simple pattern. Warping one up right now!
That's great! Have fun with it. It gives such a nice, polished finish.
Really amazing teaching tutorial. The intermitting music is quite loud, though :-) I really learned a lot from the tips you give and the really clear demonstration of "how" to do this kind of weaving. Thank you very much for posting!
Thank you!
Thak you very much for your clear and useful instructions and for your generosity on sharing this video. I'm going to try right away this pattern on my new loom.
Glad it was helpful!
Hola!!
Maravilloso su trabajo...y muy buena la explicación...aunque lamente mucho no saber inglés.
Un saludo cariñoso de Chile.
I loved this video. It is so clearly presented and I personally love that you showed all of each step. So clear.thank you. Do you have one for Log Cabin. Every video I have seen just makes my head hurt!
I've never done Log Cabin (sorry to say!) Thank you so much for your kind words.
Very informative video. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you for stopping by!
Could you do all the blue in the middle first, skipping a slot; then do all the red so you don't have to keep tying knots? All blue would come over the stick and all reds would go under.
Maggie, you could give that a try. I guess it depends on how the two colored yarns interacted, how they crossed each other. Would they tend to slide around on the back stick? I don't know!
I've just started learning to weave - thank you for this very helpful tutorial. Can I ask which size reed your are using on your loom? My loom came with a 7.5 dent reed - I wonder if that size will be ok to use with the Simply Soft yarn you recommend in the video.
Hafsa, mine is also a 7.5 dent reed. It's stamped on the reed itself - I didn't know until I went looking, in order to answer your question :) I will only add this: when you've finished the scarf, before you knot the 2nd end, lay it out and smooth all the strands so there is no rippling or puckering in the scarf. I keep forgetting to do that! It can be eliminated simply by smoothing it out flat before knotting the 2nd end. Thanks for viewing!!
@@myownlittlehouse471 Thank you for the extra tip! I just finished making my houndstooth scarf - and with hemstitching on both sides it laid flat beautifully.
Awesome job thanks 🙏 keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
Heddle is in neutral position. On time the yarn is over the stick, next time it comes from under the stick. Correct?
If you are talking about wrapping the warp yarn around the back warping stick - yes. Each time you wrap it around, you'll alternate under and over. But when tying on the 2 different colors for doing Houndstooth, you have to cut and tie each time, so the yarn does not "wrap around"; it's cut and tied to the stick each time.
Great video! I just ordered my loom. I’ll definitely try this houndstooth pattern out. Is there a specific way to weave the ends in? I’m a knitter, so I’m used to weaving ends, I just feel like it would be harder to disguised the woven in ends on a woven piece.
Ashlen, actually, it's easier in weaving than it is in either knitting or crochet. The tightness of the weave secures the ends. You really just need to barely overlap the two raw ends, in the middle of a row. Don't leave your raw ends at the end of a row -- try to meet them together in the middle of a row. You might need to fiddle with it a bit to get those two ends in the middle of a row. Don't knot the ends, or you will end up with a very visible bump, but the two raw ends next to each other are nearly invisible. And if you have a little bit of raw end sticking out, carefully snip it off, flush with the weave. Good luck! A lovely weave is SO satisfying, and this houndstooth pattern is a classic! Thanks for viewing and commenting :)
How much do you sell this scarf at market? Beautiful by the way and thank you.
I probably sold that one for $25 at the farmer's market.
Not nearly enough 😁
70 inches!!! I'm amazed at how the pattern sort of develops but then I know nothing at all about weaving. There's a blog called Day by Day and it often has weaving as the subject. The dear lady is in her 90's, lives here in B.C. and somehow I think you'd enjoy her blog.
Thanks, GM. I'll go find her blog and check it out.
Nice tutorial but the music is too loud in relation to the spoken portion. Constantly adjusting volume.
I'm sorry about that, Joni. This is one of my older youtube videos, and I really did NOT know what I was doing back then. There's a more recent (and shorter) video about doing Houndstooth. It might be better for you.
