Cabin Windows in Krokbragd

Learn how to weave krokbragd, a traditional Norwegian technique, on the rigid-heddle loom with this cozy pillow. It’s perfect for lounging in front of the fire after a long hike.

Krokbragd is a wonderful structure for weaving projects requiring thicker fabric such as rugs, bags, and wall hangings. It is weft-faced (meaning the warp is covered by the weft) and traditionally woven using colorful yarns to brighten up a dark winter day. Krokbragd in Norwegian means “crooked path,” which describes the zigzag pattern that emerges when you weave. Krokbragd is usually a threeshaft weave structure; on a rigid heddle loom it’s easy to replicate a third shaft using string heddles and a pick-up stick.
