Row 1:
The first background color warp strand on the left hand side becomes the [part 1] weft strand.
    Passed the [part 1] weft strand through the [part 1] shed to the the sixth lightning color warp strand.

      [NOTE] The [part 1] shed is composed of the warp strands from the right hand edge to the 6 sixth lightning color warp strand.

    Interlock the [part 1] weft strand and the sixth lightning color warp strand.

    [OBSERVE] The [part 1]weft strand is folded up over the sixth lightning color warp strand.

    The sixth lightning color warp strand becomes the [part 2] weft strand.

    Secure the [part 2] weft strand by placing the [part 1] weft strand under the index finger of the right hand.

Row 1:
Pass the [part 2] weft strand through the [part 2] shed.
    Pass the [part 2] weft strand through the [part 2] shed to the sixth background color warp strand.

      [NOTE] The [part 2] shed is composed of the warp strands from the first Row 2 interlock to the sixth background color warp stand.


    Interlock the [part 2] weft strand and the sixth background color warp strand.

    [OBSERVE] The [part 2] weft strand is folded up over the sixth background color warp strand.

    The sixth lightning color warp strand becomes the [part 3] weft strand.

    The [part 3] weft strand is secured by placing the [part 2] weft strand under the index finger of the right hand.

Row 1:
Pass the [part 3] weft strand through the [part 3] shed.
    Pass the [part 3] weft strand through the [part 3] shed to the right hand edge of the work piece.

      [NOTE] The [part 3] shed is composed of the warp strands from the second interlock to the left hand edge of the work-piece.

    Secure the [part 3] weft strand by moving the last warp strand to the bottom layer of the shed.

    Then transfer the [part 3] shed to the index figer of the left hand.

Row 1:
Reverse the shed and set the weave.
    As each warp strand is transfered to the left hand index finger, the warp strand is moved to the opposite shed layer.

    Set the weave.

      Pull the shed layers in opposite directions.

      Check to make sure that all warp strands are snug and even.

    [NOTE] Make sure that the warp strands follow their over/under configuration and that they remain parallel to each other.

Row 2:
Pass the Row 2 [part 1] weft strand through the Row 2 [part 1] shed.
    The first background color warp strand on the right hand side becomes the Row 2 [part 1] weft strand.

    Pass the Row 2 [part 1] weft strand through the Row 2 [part 1] shed.

      [NOTE] The Row 2 shed is composed of the warp strands from the right hand edge of the work-piece to the sixth lightning color warp strand.

    Interlock the [part 1] weft strand and the sixth lightning color warp strand.

    [OBSERVE] The [part 1] strand is folded up over the sixth lightning color warp strand.

    The sixth lightning color warp strand becomes the [part 2] weft strand.

    Secured the [part 2] weft strand by placing the [part 1] weft strand under the index finger of the right hand.
