Beginner Patterns - Card Weaving

As high season approaches and the Winter Texans arrive I e started  teaching Card Weaving. 

I can’t emphasize how important tension is in your weaving, from keeping the warp taunt to the tension you put on your weft (shuttle) thread. Any time you may change the warp tension , secure your cards! If they do dance a jig, put them back into their original positions. This may mean untwisting both individual cards and or groups of cards. Make sure they are A’s are together throughout the stack. It’s ok. You can do this. It happens. Just take a deep breath, put tension back on the cards and go one by one and straighten them back out to their original spots. This shows the importance of numbering your cards before you start.

Here are 6 patterns of 14 or 15 cards that are good beginner patterns. If you need help with reading the pattern, go to the entry for learning Card weaving.

Note, Not all of these patterns are my own, but ithey are a good size for beginners.
