Pattern Weaving Frame

Broad colored strips cross an open cream frame in the Pattern Weaving Frame. Terracotta, mustard, sage, sky blue, dusty rose, and cream give each strip a recognizable color. Where the strips overlap, one shade appears on top while the next slips underneath. The open spaces make those small changes easier to see.

Use the pictured over-and-under arrangement as a starting point. Follow one strip across the frame and notice how its position changes at each crossing. Try the opposite sequence in the next row for a checker-like effect. Keeping the same crossings but changing the color order can make the finished weave look quite different.

Compare a layout that groups warm shades together with one that alternates them with sage and blue. You can also put a light strip through the center and use darker shades around it. The simple frame leaves the rhythm of the weave and the color combinations in view.
