An instructional article by Emily N. Goodwin introducing hand tapestry weaving on a simple frame, concentrating on the knotted "Swedish" weave. It covers materials, warping a frame with cotton twine, making knots in both directions, transferring a design onto the warp with waterproof ink, building color masses, and interlocking wefts to avoid slits. It also covers stretching and finishing, and briefly mentions the Summak knot weave; flat tapestry methods are promised for a later article.
