The Krokbragd pattern is one of the most fun and interesting patterns to play with. Unlike the other pattern bars, the bar positions always follow the same order: 1 - 2 - 3, 1 - 2 - 3. You weave a row in every position (shed), and the pattern is created by changing the color of yarn you use in each position. It only takes two colors to create interesting patterns, but you can also create incredible patterns and even images by using many colors in specific sheds,.

How to use the pattern picker:

• “Weave” a row by clicking on one of the squares in the grid to the right of the loom. The number at the top of the column tells you what bar position you are in. Fill in each square as you build your pattern. You can fill in the squares in any order, but remember your pattern will grow from the bottom when you are weaving on your loom.

• Choose a new color from the palette or choose a custom color by clicking on the circle. Watch what happens to your design as you change the colors of the squares. Can you make stripes? Checkerboard? What kind of repeating motifs can you make — faces? flowers? Is it possible to make a word, running vertically?

• TIP: The patterns in Debby Greenlaw’s book “Krokbragd Patterns” can be used with our pattern bar. While all krokbragd uses the same three patterned rows, sometimes the rows are used in a different order. If you are trying to make a pattern from a book with our bar and it isn’t working, see if you might need to use the rows in a different order, like 1 - 3 - 2 instead of 1 -2 - 3, to make it work.
