An August 1938 Handweaving News article by Nellie Sargent Johnson on designing four-harness threading drafts for two-block patterns from a simple 'key draft' on cross-section paper. It shows how one key draft can be turned into Colonial overshot threadings using only the 1&2 and 3&4 blocks, and into M's and O's threadings, with the Monk's Belt plan as the main example. It covers unit sizes, repeats and centers, tie-up, weaving order, and the origin of the M's and O's name, with eight figures of drafts and drawdowns.
