An article by Marguerite P. Davison on Monk's Belt and related small-pattern weaves such as Rose Path, Honeysuckle and Swedish Point with Twill. It gives the history and Scandinavian sources of the designs, the warp and yarn standards used for the sample illustrations, and an explanation of the draft notation. Handwritten drafts are labeled as plates (A, C, D+E, F, G) and drawn from Maria Collin, Hulda Peter, Johann Schleelein and Caroline Halvorsen. Photographic plates show numbered woven samples. The scan ends with a book review of Mary Phylinda Dole's autobiography and a continuation of an article on tufted weaving.
