Change the size of the tabby so that more/fewer ends will help square the pattern. Sometimes you can not make the design wider due to limitations of loom size. The sett can be adjusted to make it easier to weave a square design.

The final samples must be tested at full width. Squaring a Design or making circles instead of ovals. In weaving overshot, I often need to adjust the weaving in order to square the design. In order to make the blocks appear symmetrical even with the spreading pattern ends - use an even number of pattern picks in turning blocks (or mirror points in the threading.) In the blue overshot above the pattern weft is larger and hides the differences. Here the pattern weft is smaller in comparison to the tabby. The orange sample is linen and in a handwoven cloth from Estonia. In the Blue overshot sample above you do not see this occurring. When weaving overshot, you may notice that sometimes the edges of blocks have pattern picks that spread apart or are snuggled together. Pattern = weft floats (pattern weft), background = plain weave (tabby weft), and the third appearance is called halftones. Overshot: A supplementary weft pattern weave. The design ideas on this page are ideas that have helped me to design and weave overshot.
