Mary T. Caum describes experiments weaving strips for the backs and seats of wooden slat porch and lawn chairs, using carpet warp with novelty cotton, Colonial "links", or Bernat's Smyrna rug yarn. She compares sett (12, 15 and 24 dents) and weft choices, citing Mary M. Atwater's "Clematis Vine" and crackle weave draft No. 112 and pattern 17b from the Recipe Book. The article gives treadling sequences with color numbers, an overshot-style draft, finished dimensions, and a sketch of how the strip is folded into a stuffed pocket and flap that holds it on the chair back.
