A 1931 article from The Handicrafter by R. F. Heartz on alternative treadlings for overshot drafts, inspired by Scandinavian practice. It covers the Pine Cone pattern and Monk's Belt drafts, with treadling directions for a lace-like effect (pattern weft treadled singly with tabby only between blocks) and for building colored blocks on a plain-weave ground. It includes materials and sett suggestions (fine cotton warp at 32 epi, Perle cotton wefts), draft figures and photographs of sample fabrics.
