A variation on Florencia Campos Correa‘s Scottish Stitch, I made up this pattern because I had a long scrap of yarn I wanted to use. It ran out after I warped 6 strands, so I improvised.
Last night I figured out the houndstooth check pattern on the Loomette. The Loomette’s pins are not separated into groups of three with wide spaces between, they’re evenly distributed.
I explained the instructions for the Weave-it or Zoom loom, in the Part I tutorial. If you missed it, you can find it here: http://windsweptmind.com/2015/05/27/houndstooth-check-pin-loom-pattern/

What is houndstooth check? By alternating two strands of one color with two strands of a second color you get this cool pattern. Weaving magic!
30 May 2016 Update: I originally learned the “Houndstooth Check” pattern from the book 100 Pin Loom Squares by Florencia Campos Correa. Loved the square, but thought her instructions were insufficient, so I wrote my own–with LOTS of photos. Today I updated the instructions to make them more clear and to make their terminology agree with words and symbols I’ve come to use consistently during the past year of my Adventures in Pin Loom Weaving.
This photo shows some different color combinations of the houndstooth check.
