The Handweaver's Pattern Directory by Anne Dixon is a very well-known pattern book in the weaving world. It also happens to be one of my favorites. [...] I use it any time I want to weave patterns on my floor loom. I also recommend it left and right to my students because, yeah, it is that good. * Warped Fibers *
