Overshot Rigid Heddle Towels

I bought the kit for this project and loved them so much I wanted to make them again. I decided I wanted a larger towel so I added additional repeats to both length and width. I also selected another color way using Brick and Clay Mallow and Marble duet. They wear really well and just keep getting softer with use.

I just finished weaving the Overshot Rigid Heddle Towel. I used left over yarn from another project so I only wove one towel. The towel measured 11” x 22” after wet finishing and throwing it in the dryer. I’m very happy with it, I think it’s a pretty little towel. I used steel and natural Mallo and sun Duet. It’s not a very big towel compared to others I’ve woven but it’s fine for a hand towel. It was fun to weave and I plan on doing more. There were a couple of things that confused me with this pattern but after watching Christine’s weave-along video online I was good to go. The video was very helpful, also looking at the picture with the pattern helped too. Be aware that pick number 4 covers up pick number 3 when you beat it. The video also showed how to correctly carry the thread when changing colors. All very helpful. I wish all patterns came with a video!

I look foreword to weaving this pattern. Thank you

I am a weaver of about a year and just finished this project. I chose to make it stripes as opposed to “plaid.” My question—I did 4 towels and the first 2 look great on front and back. The third, and more so the fourth have floats on the back. Curious about what changed to make this happen.

These towels are quickly becoming my favorite to weave. They look technical but are extremely easy to weave. The pattern sequence is very easy to remember even for my old mind. I will be gifting these in all different color combinations.
Thank you for this wonderful pattern.
