Wall Bars designs use the Slide technique. Slide means that the needle slides between the warp layers rather than going Under the L1 warps or Over the L3 warps. The L4 weft thread will be in between the warps alongside the L2 threads on either side of it. When I count the slide stitches, I tap them with my needle to keep track of them.

It’s been a while since I designed any patterns and I guess I’ve been missing it. Here are a few variations on the “Wall Bars” pattern I designed earlier today. (You might wonder where variations 1 and 2 went. Let’s just say they went.)

This one is an even and odd row repetition.

This was inspired by a member on the Facebook Pin Loom Weaving Support Group who made some mistakes in her plain woven square.
“Wall Bars”
This pattern was adapted from the Bucilla Dictionary of Magic-Loom Weaving Stitches, pattern 11. My version doesn’t look like the original, but that’s where I got the idea. The Bucilla Magic-Loom has 32 warps and 32 wefts (see this post for more information on the Bucilla Magic-Loom), so I had to trim out the extra warp and weft. This is what I came up with…
“Bucilla 11, modified, variation 1” shown here on the loom, front and back. Notice the extra long floats on the back of the square.
I’m not sure this warping configuration does much to show off the pattern. Or perhaps this is a not-as-interesting-as-some-of-the-others pattern. I designed it some time ago and have just now woven it up (apparently).
