I’m weaving scarves. With spring in the air , one day hot, one day cold, they will need to be light weight. A 10/2 tencel warp with a 20/2 silk pattern weft and a 30/2 silk tabby weft fills the bill. This is a miniature overshot pattern. ” Hooks and Eyes” (design 71)”, is found in the book: Weaving Designs by Bertha Gray Hayes. These miniature overshot drafts work nicely in smaller formats like scarves.
Planted two new roses this year to replace some that had died. This is a Neil Diamond Tea Rose. Smells wonderful too. Now to continue weaving.
These scarves look lovely and light. I really like the overshot pattern and the colours, and the beautiful rose as well. Happy weaving!

Barbara, Thank you. The scarf is weaving up nicely.

That’s a very different overshot pattern than many I’ve seen–so many are so fussy! I like the geometry of this, and the wavy lines in the borders.

Kerry, I added the border to each side of the pattern by threading several repeats of 1,2,3,4 which created the waving lines. I add borders frequently on scarves.
