Tablet (card) weaving is an ancient craft of making strong, narrow, decorative bands. This ebook contains an explanation of how tablet weaving works, instructions for threading the tablets and reading patterns. Here you will find 10 simple patterns for 8 tablets. Note that these are threaded-in patterns only. No patterns requiring individual card turning are included. Practicing simple patterns will train your hands in tablet rotation and how to feel a good warp tension. After some time, you will be able to make more complex figurative patterns and try other tablet weaving techniques.

Do not give up, practice makes perfect!
