An article from the Master Weaver bulletin (No. 33, May 1957) on proportions in design for handweavers. It explains the golden mean (1.62) and the square root of two (1.41) rectangles, and shows how to apply 1.62 ratios to pattern areas, such as a Turned Swivel project, and to colour stripe sequences, with tables of pick counts and examples. The last page begins a new article on rugs in bound weaving (overshot, crackle, summer and winter on four frames, with no tabby).
