`I received the Peg Loom for Beginners from Montessori Services over the winter, a perfect time to be indoors and
`do a fun project with my son. He mastered paper weaving over the summer and we tried stick weaving over the fall
`so I was excited to try loom weaving for the first time with him.

`The instructions were easy to follow and there were drawings to help illustrate each step. If you are an advanced
`weaver, there are advanced projects you can do with this loom.
`
`First you "warp" the loom with white cotton string, included with the Peg Loom. We tied one end of the string to the
`upper left peg and tightly wound it around the rest of the pegs from top to bottom, left to right. We then tied the
`string to the last peg on the bottom right.

`
`Before you start weaving, decide what pattern, if any, you want to make. We decided on a rainbow pattern. Next,
`thread your plastic needle and use a single thread or a double thread. We did a single thread for the purple string,
`and a double thread for the rest of the colors (until we got to the end, we went back to single threads). The benefit
`to double string weaving is that it goes faster.

`When you are done with your colored string, leave a tail of string so you can pull it back into the weaving with a
`small crochet hook or trim them or make fringe.
`
`You can leave your weaving on the loom to make a nice frame or take it off and secure the first and last warp
`ends.

`
`Diagonal weaving - at last I understand it!
`
`About Me
`
`Larissa
`Perth, WA, Australia
`I've been making things
`since I was a child, and
`believe firmly in the
`healing power of art and creativity.
`But most importantly of all, creating
`something is just so much FUN! I
`hope you enjoy reading about my
`creative journey -maybe it will
`inspire you to embrace your innate
`creativity too ...
`View my complete profile
`
`I made my small hand weaving loom well over a year ago, looked up instructions for weaving
`on it, couldn't understand said instructions, lacked confidence in my ability and put the loom
`away in a box.

`Create for Life: Diagonal weaving - at last I understand it!
`
`2/18/14 2:05 PM
`
`Today I took it out of its box because I felt like a meditative craft activity; usually knitting
`fits the bill but it's too hot to have part of a jumper sitting on my lap so I wondered if I could
`possibly work out the instructions. After a bit of searching on the web I found my reference
`site and had another go at weaving, this time armed with pictures as well.
`
`Yay! I got it! Well, let's put it this way, I've got it enough to be able to produce a square
`(just look at it, isn't it beautiful?) but not enough at this point to be able to write a tutorial.
`I'll have to let you have the link instead to Spinning Down Under - it's a great site to explore.
`And the weaving did the trick - very meditative and relaxing. Maybe you should give it a go
`too? There are instructions on how to make a small loom on the site mentioned above.
`Hopefully there will be more weaving adventures throughout 2011!

`
`The present invention relates to adjustable weaving looms
`and has particular relation to a simply constructed reliably
`operable weaving loom providing positive means of intercon-
`necting adjacent loom sections.
`Another purpose is an adjustable weaving loom which may
`be made out of hollow plastic sections.
`Another purpose is a Weaving loom of the type described in
`which each loom section has a projection and a plurality of
`spaced openings for use in assembling the loom sections into
`variably sized and shaped weaving looms.
`Another purpose is an adjustable weaving loom ol‘ the type
`described which provides for positive interconnection of loom
`sections.
`
`Other purposes will appear in the ensuing specification.
`drawings and claims.
`
`BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
`
`The invention is illustrated diagrammatically in the folloiav-
`ing drawings wherein:
`FIG. 1 is a top plan view of an adjustable weaving loom as-
`sembled into one configuration,
`FIG. 2 is an enlarged partial top plan view illustrating the
`means for attaching loom sections together.
`FIG. 3 is an end view ofa loom section, and
`FIG. 4 is a partial side view of a loom section.

`
`The present invention relates to an adjustable weaving loom
`of the type which may be used to weave sections of fabric. The
`fabric may be used. for example, in garments, bedspreads. etc.
`Yarn may be utilized on the weaving loom in a number ofdifv
`ferent ways to provide a particular weave. pattern or fabric.
`However, one particular weaving method has been found to
`be highly advantageous. or importance is the actual construc-
`tion of the learn and the manner in which it is adjustable to
`form various sizes and shapes of fabric sections.
`Turning first to FIGS. 2. 3 and 4. a loom section is indicated
`It} and may have a hollow interior l2 and a plurality of
`at
`generally equally spaced upstanding knobs or the like 14. illus—
`trated in detail in FIG. 4. As is conventional in weaving looms.
`the knobs 14 may have an enlarged head l6 sitting on a post
`18. Although the knobs are described as generally equally
`spaced. obviously they may be otherwise for particular weav-
`ing operations. Each loom section may be molded from
`plastic. although this is only one example of many possible
`materials.

`
`The loom section 10 may include a projection 20 at one
`end. A head 22 extends circumferentially about the projec-
`tion. Each of the loom sections 10 may include a plurality of
`openings 24 which extend into or are in communication with
`the hollow interior 12. Note that the space between the head
`22 and the end surface 26 is generally the same as the wall
`thickness of the loom section. Thus the head will pass through
`the opening 24 and will be positioned in the hollow area 12
`when the projection 20 is fully inserted into a mating opening
`24. The bead will firmly hold the loom sections together and
`will prevent accidental withdrawal. If the loom sections are
`formed of a plastic which is distortable andfor compressible.
`the loom sections can be snapped together. easily withdrawn,
`but yet cannot be accidentally separated during use of the
`loom.
`
`As illustrated. the projections 20 and the openings 24 are
`generally square in cross section. This is advantageous. but not
`essential to the invention. What is important is that the loom
`sections be capable of being snapped together so that after
`they are joined, there can be no relative rotation between the
`

`
`two sections. A square cross section accomplishes this pur»
`pose. as does a rectangular cross section. Other cross-sec-
`tional configurations having straight sides are also useful.
`Again. what is important is to provide a cross section such that
`the loom sections cannot be rotated relative to each other. as
`this would be a serious drawback during an actual weaving
`operation.
`
`As illustrated particularly in FIG. 4, there are a plurality of
`openings 24 along the sides of each loom section. Thus. almost
`any size and shape of loom may be made out of the loom sec-
`tions. An endless variety of sizes and shapes is possible with
`loom sections in which there are openings along both sides
`and at the ends. Normally. there will only be a single projec—
`tion on each loom section. although in some applications it
`may be desirable to have several projections.
`FIG.
`I. illustrates one possible use of the loom sections 10.
`There is a single section across the top and bottom. illustrated
`at 28 and 30. There are a pair of loom sections 32 and 34
`along the right side and a second pair of loom sections 36 and
`38 along the left side. The top of loom section 32 has a projec-
`tion which is inserted into the side of loom section 28. The left
`end of loom section 28 has a projection which is inserted into
`the side of loom section 36. In like manner. the remaining
`loom sections are fastened together.
`In a particularly useful weaving operation. a yarn 40 is first
`tied on a knob 42. The yarn is then laid back and forth across
`the loom. skipping a knob at each side. The opposite end of
`the yarn 40 is finally tied at the lower end of the loom on knob
`44. The second layer of yarn 48 may begin at knob 46 and
`runs transversely to the first layer, with the end of the second
`layer being tied to knob 50. in like manner. a third layer of
`yarn runs transversely to the second layer beginning at knob
`52. with the yarn 53 again being run back and forth over the
`knobs. In this instance the yarn runs about the knobs which
`were skipped on the first layer of yarn. The yarn 53 is tied on
`knob 54 which isjust above knob 44. Lastly. single strands of
`yarn may be interwoven, with such single strands being paral-
`lel to the second layer and being tied at the bottom. as on
`knobs 56. 58. 6|). 62 and 64. The upper ends of the single
`layers of yarn may be loose.
`The above illustration discloses a highly advantageous
`weaving method. however. obviously the invention should not
`be limited to any particular fabric or any particular manner of
`making a fabric.
`I claim:
`
`1. In an adjustable weaving loom. a plurality of hollow loom
`sections. each loom section having a top surface with a plurali-
`ty of spaced upstanding knobs, and
`cooperating joint means on said loom sections for use in
`removably attaching said loom sections together to form
`a closed weaving loom including a projection and opening
`on each loom section arranged to cooperate with projec-
`tions and openings on other loom sections, the projection
`and opening on each loom section each having a plurality
`of generally straight sides. with each projection and open-
`ing having generally the same cross section to prevent
`relative rotation between loom sections. a circum-
`ferentially extending head on each projection spaced
`from the end of the projection and spaced from the loom
`section a distance generally equal
`to that of the wall
`thickness of the hollow loom sections such that the pro-
`jections will be held within their corresponding openings.
`2. The structure of claim 1 further characterized in that
`tion.
`each projection and opening are generally square in cross sec-
`
`3. The structure of claim 1 further characterized in that
`each loom section includes one projection and a plurality of
`openings. with the projection being generally at one end of the
`loom section.
