A booklet of 24 miniature overshot patterns for four-shaft hand weaving by Josephine E. Estes of the Weavers' Guild of Boston, distributed by Bare Cove Weavers in Hingham, Massachusetts.

Short notes cover balancing the design at the web edges, twill borders, color suggestions, and uses such as bookmarks, pincushions, runners and upholstery. Patterns include Bower of Roses, Chariot Wheel, Lovers' Knot, Pond Lily, Snowball, Star of Bethlehem and Wheel of Fortune.
