LoginDesigner Malynda Allen needed some baby blankets for gifts, so she put a long warp on her loom, and began weaving sampoles using the Huck-A-Back Blocks draft from A Handweaver’s Pattern Book. She played with the suggested treadlings and used a few tie-ups and treadlings of her own, and then chose her favorites from her washed samples.
After finishing a couple of baby blankets, she decided to weave a few throws on the same warp. She loves the look of knotted fringe, so she chose diagonal knotting instead of simple hems to finish the throws.
These throws make wonderful shoulder shawls or lap blankets to keep life cozy on a cool day. If you weave a plain-weave hem instead of the fringe, these throws make soft, cuddly baby blankets. Reduce the number of repeats and you can weave some lovely towels for your home, too!
