Treasure Box by Deb Essen

A pin loom can weave more than solid squares! Using floats or alternating yarn colors creates dynamic patterns. This box explores three easy-to-weave patterns: stripes, floats, and spots.

When I was a child, I collected all sorts of little “treasures,” saving rocks, beads, buttons, and toys in special cardboard boxes. I still collect treasures, but my boxes are fancier. Pin-loom squares make great boxes and are one of the easiest ways to explore weaving in three dimensions. Make a box bigger than a 4" x 4" cube by simply weaving more squares. An open-topped box with two squares on front, back, and bottom with one square on each end would make a lovely rectangular box for your jewelry or a place to corral office supplies on your desk.
