A browsing guide to the patterns in Christian Morath's German weaver's pattern book (1784-1810), which Nellie L. Galvin published in 1961. Kris Bruland digitized the patterns as WIF files on Handweaving.net, and Ralph Griswold derived the black-and-white drawdown thumbnails here from those files. The patterns are grouped by grid size, from 10 x 10 up to 38 x 38, and each carries the number of its WIF file. The geometric motifs include diamonds, diagonals, X shapes and lattices.
