Please feel free to ask question about this technique, but the hard part is find your original loops to put back on the pegs. Trick go to the next peg that hasn't been touched and follow the line to the previous to find your loop. You can also too all the scales first and then put the loops on the pegs and it is easy that way. Trick is figuring what works best for getting those original loops back. This is an advanced technique and I would not suggest this for a beginner but a more experience loomer.
This is an example of a triangled edged.
Scarlett, you are amazing! Thank you for sharing your wonderful patterns. Your projects and work are spectacular. The crocodile stitch, I have been wanting to learn via crochet. I am a beginner at that. But to be able to make it on a loom is so exciting!
