Figure-8 bar weaving and examples of adding spokes and Picot loops to figure-8 bar weaving: You work the figure-8 weave by coming up in the middle of four fabric threads with half of the threads on each side of the needle.As shown on the photo, the pattern is: loop over half of the fabric threads, bring the needle up again in the middle, loop over the other half of the fabric threads, and so on.

Using buttonhole stitch for bar weaving and example of adding Rosette fill-ins:When I work the Rosette (Struvor) stitch I want the pulled weaved bars to form a nice symmetric Y-branch within the four corners. To accomplish this, I do 8 weaved bars of buttonhole stitches then, upon completion of the worked bars I add the Rosette stitch fill-ins.
