A weaving method in a loom including a shedding device configured to give a shedding motion to warps by driving a corresponding heddle frame with a dedicated drive motor provided for each heddle frame, and configured to perform control of each drive motor based on an operation pattern set for each heddle frame so that the warps intersect at a predetermined cross point, the weaving method being characterized in that it comprises: setting at least a part of the heddle frames as a target heddle frame; and setting the operation pattern set for the target heddle frame as a special operation pattern, where the special operation pattern is an operation pattern for one repeat of a weaving pattern set in a form of assigning height position information to each weaving cycle, and where the height position information is information about the cross point and having a cross timing of the warps, wherein the special operation pattern includes: a first pattern having a first setting weaving cycle; and a second pattern set after the first pattern and having a second setting weaving cycle, the first pattern consisting of predetermined three or more weaving cycles and the second pattern consisting of one or more weaving cycles, the first pattern is set such that: the cross point of each weaving cycle in the first setting weaving cycle is on one side in an upper and lower direction with respect to the cross point of a preceding weaving cycle; or the cross point in a plurality of weaving cycles smaller than a total number in the first setting weaving cycle is on one side in an upper and lower direction with respect to the cross point of a preceding weaving cycle, and the cross point in remaining weaving cycles is the same as the cross point of the preceding weaving cycle, and the second pattern is set to change the cross point toward a first cross point of the first setting weaving cycle. setting at least a part of the heddle frames as a target heddle frame; and setting the operation pattern set for the target heddle frame as a special operation pattern, where the special operation pattern is an operation pattern for one repeat of a weaving pattern set in a form of assigning height position information to each weaving cycle, and where the height position information is information about the cross point and having a cross timing of the warps, wherein the special operation pattern includes: a first pattern having a first setting weaving cycle; and a second pattern set after the first pattern and having a second setting weaving cycle, a first pattern having a first setting weaving cycle; and a second pattern set after the first pattern and having a second setting weaving cycle, the first pattern consisting of predetermined three or more weaving cycles and the second pattern consisting of one or more weaving cycles, the first pattern is set such that: the cross point of each weaving cycle in the first setting weaving cycle is on one side in an upper and lower direction with respect to the cross point of a preceding weaving cycle; or the cross point in a plurality of weaving cycles smaller than a total number in the first setting weaving cycle is on one side in an upper and lower direction with respect to the cross point of a preceding weaving cycle, and the cross point in remaining weaving cycles is the same as the cross point of the preceding weaving cycle, and the cross point of each weaving cycle in the first setting weaving cycle is on one side in an upper and lower direction with respect to the cross point of a preceding weaving cycle; or the cross point in a plurality of weaving cycles smaller than a total number in the first setting weaving cycle is on one side in an upper and lower direction with respect to the cross point of a preceding weaving cycle, and the cross point in remaining weaving cycles is the same as the cross point of the preceding weaving cycle, and the second pattern is set to change the cross point toward a first cross point of the first setting weaving cycle.
