My Mom taught me how to do the swedish weaving You just start with a plain piece of monks cloth, which is like a very soft burlap, and weave the yarn in, counting out a pattern. It's hard to describe, but if you google swedish weaving you'll find lots of cool resources I'm glad you like it This is the third blanket that I have made. The first was for my hubby when he first moved over here to Japan and was still my fiance The second was for my niece Misha, and now this one for my little boy
