This project will get you familiar with the diamond pattern bar. You’ll make a piece like the one with the zigzag twill, but with a diamond medallion in the middle section instead.

The first and last sections are woven with plain weave. The middle section is woven by using the diamond pattern bar. You’ll start by rotating the bar backward one position between each row as you weave. When you get about halfway up the piece, rotate it forward between each row, for the rest of the way. That makes the diamond medallion form.

It may be helpful to watch at least the Quick Version getting started video and and the Make It: Zigzag twill project video before starting this one. See what you think. You might find that you like the way the diamond pattern looks if you switch the direction of the bar every few rows, or not at all.
