Ralph Griswold's first article in a series on patterns that cannot be woven as sound fabrics when drawn with black warp and white weft. He shows that using both black and white threads in warp and weft, as in color-and-weave effects, can often yield an interlacement that hangs together. A stripe pattern is worked through step by step with pattern, interlacement and draft grids, and a three-step general approach (find colors, choose an interlacement, test soundness) is outlined.
