**************************************************************************
This square is the same pattern. I warped layers 1-3 in Red Heart Soft “Berry” and wove layer 4 with Caron Simply Soft “Soft Pink” and this is how it turned out. When woven from this warping configuration (1-3/4), the pattern looks totally different. It goes by the name “Alternating Dashes” in the pattern library on the Adventures in Pin Loom Weaving blog.
What a difference the warping procedure makes!
