Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
Second article in Ralph Griswold's series on drafting problem patterns, explaining how to assign colors (black or white) to warp and weft threads as the first step toward a sound draft. It shows with a simple twill that choosing one thread color forces all the others, giving a unique standard or complementary coloring. It then uses an 8x8 example from an earlier article to show a systematic procedure that ranks rows and columns by their number of black cells and picks a starting thread. The article ends by leading into the next part, which will build a sound draft from nonstandard colorings.
