Warpface Diamond Pattern Fingerweaving Tutorial

Warpface Diamond Pattern

A diamond pattern can be produced by alternating between point up and point down warpface chevron patterns.

The size and apperence of the diamonds depends on the length of the weaving between the chevron reversals and where the chevron reversals take place.

The video illustrates some of the variations that can be produced.

To produce a diamond pattern, a point up chevron pattern must be changed to a point down chevron pattern at the mid point of the diamond pattern.

[NOTE] It is important that you are profichent at producing work pieces using both the point up and point down chevron patterns.

When the last two weft strands of the point up chevron part of the diamond pattern meet they are interlocked.

[NOTE] In the point up chevron pattern, the weft strands are passed through the shed from the edges of the work piece to the middle of the work piece.

The interlocked weft strands become the first pair of weft strands of the point down chevron part of the the diamond pattern.

[NOTE] In the point down chevron pattern, the weft strands are passed through the shed from the middle of the work piece to the edges of the work piece.

[NOTE] The interlocked weft strands at the center of the diamond pattern helps to keep the diamond flat.

Transtion to the next diamond pattern by crossing the two center warp strands.

[NOTE] If the center warp strands are not crossed before starting the point up chevron pattern portion of the diamond pattern, there will be a hole in the fabric.

Start the point up cheveron pattern portion of the diamomd pattern.

[OBSERVE] The weft strands now pass through the shed from the edge of the work piece to the middle of the work piece.

Continue weaving the point up chevron portion of the diamond.

[NOTE] When the mid point of the diamond is reached, complete the diamond by changing to the point down chevron pattern.

[NOTE] Continue adding diamonds until the desired length of the work piece is reached.
