There are many benefits to modular weaving in addition to being easy to do on the couch! For instance, in this hexagon-loom-woven cowl, the small, patterned pieces of fabric interact with each other in unexpected ways to create the feeling of movement in the overall piece.

This project showcases one of the major benefits of modular weaving: It’s easy to let little patterned pieces of fabric, woven in different colors, interact with each other. For this cowl, hexagons with a two-sided diamond pick-up pattern and plain-weave hexagons come together to create an interesting effect in which the colors and the patterns advance in opposite directions. The pick-up pattern creates a two-sided design and the illusion of two patterns, adding to a final result that only looks complicated.
