One of our Grandsons is getting married next May.
So I thought I would make them a throw, as part of my present.

Swedish [ or huck ] weaving.
Quite easy, I enjoy doing it. But hate the hemming when finished.

Ah, I found a youtube video, but it didn't look like that.
What is the name of the stitch?
