Method 2
The next method of using seven strands will
produce a tight weave with an interesting hollow to
one side that may be useful for setting off a feature
of a wood frame. Or it can be placed downward, to
receive glue that holds the piece in place.

3 – outer right moves over two to the left. Repeat

Stages 2 and 3 as needed.

Start with five strands to the left and two to the
1 right…

Left: The view
from the worked
side above (note the
centre dimple)…
Right: The view from the
back of the worked side – a
handsome chevron!

– outer left moves under two and over two to its
2 right…

Method 3
This third method uses the same technique we have
used for Method 1 in this set. The final weave is very
solid and could almost stand in for a solid sinnet
instead of a flat sinnet.

Start four strands to the left and three to the
1 right…
