Bonjour bravo pour la Vidéo. ! Je veux comprendre comment lire les patrons.. sur le vôtre dans la vidéo.. doit -on aussi calculer les fils de la bordure chaque côté ou c'est seulement le patron du dessin? Tous les patrons se lisent-ils de la même façon

The pattern shown in the video is one for Baltic pick-up and is different than other inkle patterns. If you want to learn more, Angela's video is a great resource: learn.longthreadmedia.com/courses/baltic-pick-up-on-the-inkle-loom.
Angela also shared with me that her favorite book for this is Anne Dixon's "The Weaver's Inkle Pattern Directory." It contains lots of plain weave patterns and many specialty techniques including Baltic and other pickup with a good selection of charted designs. This is an excellent resource for anyone with an inkle loom. Happy weaving!
