Instructional article by Anna R. Cole on warp-face weaving, in which two contrasting warp colors form reversible patterns while the weft is hidden. It covers materials (carpet warp, Bernat's Rugro, perle cotton), warping, threading for two- and four-harness "Log Cabin" patterns, weaving with alternating pattern and tabby wefts, and finishing fringes. Drafts are given for Log Cabin table mats with six treadling variations, Log Cabin rugs, and a Whig Rose rug. It closes with advice on adapting overshot, crackle, summer and winter, and double weave patterns, plus references to earlier issues of The Weaver.
