A 1932 Handicrafter article by Agnes K. Nielsen explaining how to weave two-block patterns on two small frame looms, the Daga (slotted metal rack) and the Kircher (wooden reed with pegged warp boards). It gives written warping and weaving instructions for patterns including Lasting Beauty, Four O'Clock, Pattern No. 1 and No. 2, Queen's Patch, Sugar Loaf (Window Sash) and Monk's Belt, using two shuttles in a dark and light alternation. Photographs show the finished squares and runners, which were woven at King's Park State Hospital, and the materials used are noted (carpet warp, perle cotton, novelty yarn, rayon).
