Tied on, warp separated, eight rows done, and the hem stitch done, when I tie on I use groups or bundles of 6 threads.

Below is a picture of the reed with ties I use to mark the center of the loom. This was for a scarf I had made.

Pick up pattern ( heddle in the down position )

 White only 1 up, 2 down, under all colored threads

 

Step 1: up

Step 2: down and on edge

Step 3: up

Step 4: down

Step 5: up and flat

Step 6: down

Step 7: up and flat

Step 8: down

 

Repeat

 Watch edge stitches

 

Starting with white, and leaving a long tail 4 to 5 times the width of the loom, weave 2 rows plain. Do the hemstitch with the white across the loom after you have wove several rows or picks

A with white weave rows 1 to 8 of pick up pattern, 1 time

B with green plain weave 4 rows

C with white weave rows 1 to 8 of pick up pattern, 1 time

D with red plain weave 6 rows

E with white weave rows 1 to 8 of pick up pattern, 1 time

F with green plain weave 4 rows

G with white weave rows 1 to 8 of pick up pattern, 1 time

H with blue plain weave 4 rows

With White do rows 1 to 8 of pick up pattern 33 times

Now

I with blue plain weave 4 rows

J with white weave rows 1 to 8 of pick up pattern, 1 time

K with green plain weave 4 rows

L with white weave rows 1 to 8 of pick up pattern, 1 time

M with red plain weave 6 rows

N with white weave rows 1 to 8 of pick up pattern, 1 time

O with green plain weave 4 rows

P with white weave rows 1 to 8 of pick up pattern, 1 time

Weave 2 plain rows with white, do another hem stich, and leave enough of the warp ends for tying overhand knots and fringe. Cut yarn to 3 inches long and you are done.

This table runner is machine wash and dry.
