A 1936 article by Elmer W. Hickman on weaving large knitting bags with "on opposites" treadling, in which a colored wool pattern shot alternates with a yellow Perle cotton shot on the opposite shed. He describes his color experiments, including a scheme taken from Czechoslovakian embroidered mittens, and explains the "on opposites" method for beginners. Full directions are given for two colorways, with warp, sleying, threading for the Maltese Cross draft, stripe-by-stripe treadling and yarn color keys. The article also covers handles, lining, finishing and shaping a boxed corner.
