A 1929 article by Mary Meigs Atwater with instructions for weaving baby blankets on a handloom. It covers fifteen blanket designs, from light plain-tabby Afghan-yarn blankets with colored borders to heavier Saxony and Germantown wool blankets. The heavier ones use linen-weave threadings, overshot, basket weave, an eight-harness pattern and quilted (double) weaving. It gives warp counts, sley rates, color arrangements, treadlings and finishing advice, and closes with notes on handling wool warps. A threading-draft sheet with tie-ups (a)-(g) and several photographed or drawn illustrations accompany the text.
