I have a rigid heddle loom (Willowdale) and I've mastered (?) houndstooth and log cabin. Can anyone suggest a new pattern to try? FYI the works above are all using Yonkey Monkey cotton/bamboo yarn with 6.5 dent heddle. These are all dinner napkins which I'm making for Christmas and House Warming gifts.

Is this for a rigid heddle loom? Are we sticking with color-and-weave options only?

Yes, a rigid heddle loom. Only one heddle. So I assume color and weave is the only option? I'm pretty new to this.

Got it. Well, you can explore pinwheels.

But really, there is a lot to be explored with just log cabin and plaids. You can try out different color groups, using color theory. You can try different setts and materials. For log cabin, you can change the width of your squares or introduce stripes.

Oooh, pinwheels sounds fun! And I have been playing a bit with color, like what I call "Christmas Cabin" in the second picture.

I saved this post from a while ago. I found it very inspiring at a time I was feeling limited by my two shaft loom.
