Here’s a cheery weave for spring, as the bees get to work filling their combs with honey: the structure of “Alladorf 60 Hexes” is based on a fragment of woolen fabric woven over a thousand years ago, with a mix of long and short floats that draw up when bound off to produce a fun hexagonal design.
The long floats produce a small but very thick potholder, with the three different colors separated onto distinct layers to create a lot of texture.
There are 19- and 27-peg charts posted in our catalog.
Step-by-step photos are attached below, woven from the middle out as Piglet usually does:
Beautimus! I’ve been thinking about tweaking one of my honeycomb patterns for the floor loom down to a Pro potholder. No need now, plus I don’t need the brain drain – got to keep this FUN!
That is so nice of you to show step-by-step photos! I like your colors also and thank you, because for a beginner with poor eyesight is very hard to learn on some of these patterns that are so tiny which most of the books are. So the step-by-step pictures are fantastic and it was really thoughtful of you 🙂
Beautiful pattern! Looks great on an 18×18 peg loom as well, and the long, doubled-up floats on the back are the perfect size to tuck knitting needles, weaving hooks, etc. to keep my supply bag better organized!
