Circus Napkins – PDF Weaving Pattern

$8.00

Like kitchen towels, hand woven napkins are a great way to play with colour, texture, and design elements. The Circus Napkins use the graphic qualities of a Monk’s Belt threading and fun, saturated colours to create bright and playful napkins that are as fun to weave as they are on the table.

The floats in the Circus Napkins are short enough that they wonʼt easily catch on fork tines or knife tips, but still create bold blocks of colour on the plain weave surface. Three different treadling variations allow you to customize the project to suit your pattern preference. And better still – the project is easy to adapt into kitchen towels and includes guidance on how to do so.

This project is ideal for beginner weavers who would like to try a two shuttle project and experienced weavers who enjoy colour and pattern.
