LoginDon’t let a narrow loom stop you from weaving a blanket or throw.
This design by Sara Bixler for rigid-heddle or multi-shaft looms has you create weft loops along the selvedges as you weave. Then, instead of using a needle and thread to join the panels into a wider blanket, all you need is a crochet hook to connect those loops. Easy!
