For the original post of this pattern see Hearts and Diamonds Overshot. This is a really beautiful pattern in the Pin Loom “overshot” technique. I have this theory that all “overshot” patterns can also be woven using the 2LW method, so I started with the first one I learned: Amber Vigil’s. With her permission, I share my rendition of the pattern here.
Here are the instructions for the pattern I wove for the previous post. According to Judie Eatough and Handweaving.net, this draft (weaving pattern) has no name, only a number, but I like to name things. The draft looked like thistle blossoms to me. It was woven with the 1LW method, but is suitable for 2LW as well.
If you need instructions on two-layer-warping (2LW), please see instructions in the posts linked below. The first post tells how to warp the loom and weave Row 1. The second post shows the needle path (where to enter and exit the loom) for the first eight rows of a 2LW pattern. For this pattern, follow the diagram below, but follow the needle path instructions; they are universal for all 2LW patterns.

Maybe I just don’t do yellow well. By way of excuse, I don’t have a lot of color choices in wool.
(I didn’t add row 32 in this square.)

Not wild about my color choices for this square—I’d prefer a stronger contrast—but you can learn from my mistake.

“Concentric Diamonds” does not begin nor end with a plain weave row—rather daring, I thought, but it works!
