Notes: 

1/28/2012 - This pattern is from Handwoven Magazine March/April 2001; Krokbragd Pattern in Twill on only 3 Shafts.The pattern has instructions and drafts for using a rigid heddle loom with 2 pickup sticks. Having never done Korkbragd or used pickup sticks on my rigid heddle, I thought it would be a good project to try. I wound on more warp that was specified so I can make extras as gifts.

3/3/2012 - I actually finished weaving about 2 weeks ago  and I was finally able to finished these last night.

Very lovely!  I am inspired now to bump up Krokbragd to the top of my list of weave structures to learn for 2012.  Thank you for sharing -- it's beautiful!
