Inkle Loom Plain-Weave Pattern Generator
This tool will help you generate a pattern for a warp-facing weave, such as that produced by an inkle loom or a backstrap loom. This tool is limited to a plain-weave, meaning that threads on the loom alternate passing through the heddles. No special techniques are required to lift or drop individual threads during the weaving process.
To begin, enter the total number of threads in your weave. This is usually determined by the desired width of the finished piece, and the thickness of the yarn or thread that you're using. If you like, you can start with a rough estimate, and update the number as you develop your pattern.

This is SUCH an amazing and simple tool to use while plotting a plain weave pattern for my inkle loom. It is just PERFECT.

That is a sweet little tool. I'll be introducing some people to the inkle loom in June, I'll be sure to show them your site. This beats graph paper and colored pencils.

Hi Kate - I have bypassed the printer issue by using thesnipping tool, and printed the pattern from there.

I love the Pattern Generator! I used to be able to print my patterns but the Print Button no longer works for me. I have dozens of patterns printed and saved but I can not print my new ones. Any assistance that you can provide would be helpful!

Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given him — for this is his lot. Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work — this is a gift of God. He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart.
— Ecclesiastes 5:18-20
