Weave Krokbragd on a Rigid Heddle (Tidy Edges!)
This video shows a simple way to weave krokbragd on a rigid heddle loom with just a pickup stick. I also demonstrate a technique for achieving neat edges in Krokbragd without floating selvedges, which can also be used on a floor loom (or any other kind of loom).
Note: The wrapping method takes the pattern edge-to-edge for a very pretty front face of the fabric, but it is not reversible.

Shed 1: Heddle UP, over-under with pickup stick
Shed 2: Heddle DOWN
Shed 3: Heddle UP, under-over with pickup stick
ABC or ABB color blocks:
Start every Shed 1 by wrapping the weft twice over the selvedge thread. No wrapping for weft picks in Shed 2 or 3.
AAB or ABA color blocks:
No wrapping. Just make sure that the very first pick of the block in Shed 1 goes all the way around the selvedge thread.

How to finish a handwoven item with a "Damascus edge." As far as I can tell, that term was coined by Peter Collingwood in _The Techniques of Rug Weaving_ (1968). It works best for weft-faced weaves with a wide warp sett. The warp for the mug rug in this video is *doubled* 8/4 cotton carpet warp, meaning that two warp threads are treated as one.

Buenas tardes que hermosos trabajos felicitaciones saludos abrazos cariños desde Chile 🇨🇱
Thank you for such a great video!
Thank you for this video! Lots of great tips and clear explanations. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
What size loom is necessary to make saddle blankets? Is there a place to source patterns for saddle blanket weaving?
You'll need 36-45 inches weaving width, and you'll need a sturdy rug loom that's capable of weaving with a very firm beat. I don't know of a source for patterns, but it's not hard to create your own once you understand how the weave structure works. Perhaps I will put it on the to-do list to write up a little instructional booklet one of these days!
@wildgingerhandweaving4171 thank you for your response. It gives me some direction.
What size loom is necessary for weaving a saddle blanket?
I've got a table loom and this was helpful on how to manage the selvages. Thank you!
Thanks very much for this - and all your most excellent videos. By far, the most helpful and complete and thoughtful tutorials on weaving stitch techniques I’ve encountered as a very new beginner weaver using primitive hand frame looms, mostly quite small to tiny weaving. As an experienced textile artist, I’ll be using your suggestions and techniques in my work, and I do hope to see you soon with new projects or suggestions or practices. Thanks again!! Love. ❤️
You explained this so clearly! I have a Beka rigid heddle loom and I’m going to try it! Thank you!
I would like to do Xmas mug rugs on my little harvest loom any advice please
My biggest advice specific to that loom is that you should have a tapestry beater on hand if you want to try any kind of weft-faced weaving. It will be hard to get your tension tight enough and difficult to beat hard enough with just your rigid heddle. But it *IS* possible to get great results by packing down the weft with a tapestry beater every few picks. If you don't have a tapestry beater, you can use a fork - just attach some kind of weight onto it to make it heavy enough.
The best explanation and demonstration of krokbragd. Thank you.
Thank you for this (And other videos!) Can you clarify? Are ALL Krokbragd woven in 3x repeat blocks?
I've done Krokbragd on a Rigid Heddle - larger, wider pieces using the "Crazy Shot" book. Now I've got a 10" Sampleit loom and can use this video for Mug Rugs. BUT I'm also going to try a second reed since the Sampleit has the slots for a 2nd reed. You should do that as a video!
I like your videos, I wish you would do more. I've done Krokbragd on a riggid heddle loom. I'm going to sell my Baby Wolf loom and keeping an 8 shaft table loom, tho on a stand. So I'll do this on that table loom. You are a great teacher and video creator!
Aap bahot acha acha sempal banate hii 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great to find details of heddle and warp and weft. I’ve struggled but feel happier to have another go now
Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a great video. I can't wait to start weaving this pattern.
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?
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! th-cam.com/video/ttSZSqBbNZ0/w-d-xo.html&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!! 🥰
Your draft was way off, i followed it and there were warp threads floating on top the entire length
Sorry to hear that! I wonder if this is what happened. There are two links in the video description. The first is an all-purpose post that gives generic directions for threading the loom for *all* of my mug rug patterns. The tie-up, however, can change from project to project. The second link tells you the specific tie-up to use for weaving krokbragd. If you used the tie-up in the first post, you're right - it would come out all wrong. I see how this could be confusing, and I hope this clears it up.
I really liked your video and explanation of the weave structure. I was really sad to see you have not done any videos in a few months. I hope you start back up.
So glad I found this - I bought a LeClerc 24" 4 shaft loom from an antique store about 7 years ago and FINALLY found all the parts to get it up and running. It looks just like yours! =) Thank you so very much for these instructions - LOVE IT! You rock!!!
Is your warp thread very tight on tension? Thank you so much for your video.
Hi, these are great tutorials. I have a rigid heddle only and I’m happy to use pick up sticks. But what is the best way to warp as the warp draft is for 4 shaft. So would I put ends for shafts 1 and 3 in holes and ends for 2 and 4 in slots? I could buy a second heddle and if I did then I know it turns it into 3 shaft with pick up stick for fourth shaft. Or I can make heddles too. Just not sure how to get started!
If I were you, I would start out with the "Weave Krokbragd on a Rigid Heddle" video that is specifically aimed at RH weavers. To set it up for that particular pattern, warp your loom with 33 ends (an odd number), making sure that the first and last threads go through slots. The krokbragd pattern is kind of uniquely suited for the RH, though. Beyond that, I have to confess that I am not a RH weaver and would have to do some experiments myself before I could advise you. I have more experience weaving multi-shaft patterns on tapestry or frame looms, which is totally doable and in some ways simpler than adapting those patterns for RH! There are a number of patterns I'd like to make specifically for 2 shafts, but I haven't gotten around to making them yet.
Your teaching method is one of THE most effective I have seen. Thank you.
great technique for tucking the end of the new color!!
Just found this wonderful series when I did a search for boundweave. Thanks for putting this together!
C2C crochet inspiration right here! I will also see if I can rag rug duplicate. Thank you. Your work is not only captivatingly beautiful it is vigorously inspiring. So again...thank you.

So beautiful...again!
So flippin beautiful!! May I use this pattern and colour scheme for knitting a cardi'? It would be so versatile; women and men as well as all ages. Thank you.
Go for it! I'd love to see the finished cardi :)
The music is so unnecessary.....couldn't watch because of it. Boo
Thanks for the feedback! I'll take it into consideration next time I make more videos :)
Your tutorial is the clearest I’ve seen - thanks! Can I ask why you use 4 harnesses instead of 3 for krokbragd? Is that so you can weave other weft faced patterns on the same warp?
Yes! That is definitely the main reason. But I can imagine other reasons. Some looms aren't happy if you leave harnesses empty, for example, or you might want to use 4 harnesses in order to distribute your heddles more evenly (especially with a wider project). On the other hand, I definitely use the traditional 3-harness setup when I weave krokbragd on a 4-shaft counterbalance loom. It just depends on your circumstances.
@@wildgingerhandweaving4171 thanks for your reply (and for your great tutorials)! That makes sense.
Looks like a great way to try different patterns- 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?
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
@@zehavahl Yes, that's exactly right! 👍
wow I have finally cracked it, and it wouldn't have happened without your help!! thank you@@wildgingerhandweaving4171

I was unable to wrap my head around this until I watched your video. Thank you! Can’t wait to get started!

Bonjour Ou puis-je trouver les accessoires de votre métier à tisser. Merci de me répondre. Cordialement Mme Houlbreque l
Je vais essayer de répondre, mais pardonnez mon pauvre français. Dans cette vidéo, j’utilise un métier à tisser fabriqué par Ashford en Nouvelle-Zélande. Vous pouvez en savoir plus ici: woolery.com/ashford-sampleit-loom-10.html J’utilise également un «Tapestry beater» et un «pick up stick». Je ne sais pas comment on les appelle en français. De nombreuses entreprises les fabriquent. En voici quelques exemples: woolery.com/schacht-tapestry-beaters.html woolery.com/kromski-pick-up-sticks.html
Bonjour Merci pour vos informations qui me seront très utiles. J'ai commandé le metier à tisser. Votre tuto est très bien fait et donne envie d'être créative.
So beautiful ❤️!
Hi Emily -- I wanted to let you know that I figured out that 2 threads go into each heddle. Duh! I've gone to your Etsy shop and purchased a couple of your PDF downloads. I'm sure this will help - you have included so many helpful diagrams and drawdowns, etc. Thanks again, Jill, Oregon
Hi Emily, here's your problem child again. I've warped my reed at 6 ends per inch. I'm weaving the pattern, but the warp shows. And I'm getting the design but no coverage. Just to make sure, I threaded only 1 warp thread thru each heddle. My warp width in the reed is 5 inches. Any thoughts as to why I'm not getting a weft faced weave?
Hi Emily, got your text in Facebook but couldn't find a wY to get back to you. I did delete the question because I finally figured out my puzzle. It wasn't you, it was me. Thank you for seeking me out. And thanks for great videos! Jill
Excellent video!
