If you are new to inkle weaving, you may want to check out my FAQ's page here:

I have two pattern books available from Taproot Video.
I have two pattern books available from Taproot Video.
The first is about how to use color and design bands using plain weave only. It includes a discussion of color theory and how to apply it in inkle weaving. There are 200 patterns included.
The second book, published in May 2021, is about a unique Baltic-style pickup technique.
You should have experience using regular Baltic pickup before trying this.
100 patterns are included.
Below is a sample of a plain weave warping draft. The warping draft tells you in what order to arrange your warps on the loom to get the desired pattern. Each colored cell represents one warp thread. There are two rows. The top row represents warps that are heddled. The bottom row represents warps which are not heddled (open).
Start with #1 by threading it onto the loom, through a heddle and up over the top bar.
Then, thread #2 without a heddle, under the top bar in the "open" position.
Continue warping the rest of the threads in numerical order, always following the same order and alternating between one heddled and one open.
If your loom did not come with one, you may be able to follow the instructions given by
Schacht Spindle Company here.
Or Ashford Wheels & Looms here.
To chart your own patterns, here are some great resources. I've used them to create all the patterns on this blog.
The graph paper was created by Misty Wood and can be found here: http://flufdrax.deviantart.com/art/Inkle-offset-graph-74494166 I'm very grateful to her for it.
This online pattern-making tool created by Jeff Bigot makes it super easy to chart patterns in many variations. I used it to illustrate both of my books:
