I love Latvian Flower Bands. There's an out-of-print book called "Latviešu Jostas" (in English "Latvian Sashes, Belts and Bands") by Aleksandra Dzērvītis and Lilija Treimanis in Latvian and English where these band patterns are found. I learned how to weave a Latvian Flower Band from a wonderful "Winter Belt WAL" (weave along) in the Knit Like a Latvian Ravelry group, which was so interesting, educational, inspirational, and so much fun. They are really fun to weave. Here's the Latvian flower band I'm working on now. It's #10 from the Latviesu Jostas book. The yarn is size 3/2 weaving cotton from Webs. The pattern threads are doubled. The "flowers" are the red flowers in the center of the band and the yellow flowers with the red center alongside the center. The center of the flower will have the same color as the weft thread that you use, which is usually the same color as the selvage threads. So, my flowers all have red centers. The traditional colors of Latvian bands are red, yellow, blue, and green. Above and below the flowers are doubled threads, or heavier threads, which help decorate the band. Here's a close-up of the flowers: To weave a Latvian band, you pick up the doubled pattern threads, weave 2 shots of tabby, and then push down the doubled threads, and again weave 2 shots of tabby, and repeat these 6 rows. With this band, the flowers aren't side by side--they alternate across the band. So, for a pattern row, you pick up one set of doubled threads and also push down the other set of pattern threads, and vice versa for the other pattern thread. Here's a picture of the band on my Schacht inkle loom. The shuttle on the right is from Stoorstalka. It's very handy for picking up threads. Next time I'll wrap my weft threads around it and use it for weaving. The small shuttle has a really nice edge. It's from Buckmaster Family Farms. I got it from them at the Middle Tennessee Fiber Festival. My notes: Red flower center: red, red, double yellow, red, double yellow, red, red. (red flower, red center) Yellow flower: yellow, yellow, double blue, yellow, double blue, yellow, yellow. (yellow flower, red center) Another Yellow flower: yellow, yellow, double green, yellow, double green, yellow, yellow. (yellow flower, red center)
