Article by Nellie Sargent Johnson on weaving a four-block summer and winter pattern on a six-harness loom. It starts from an ancient 'Whig Rose' fragment in her collection, explains the key draft, block threading units, tie-ups and weaving 'in pairs' and 'as drawn' (star fashion), and gives shot-by-shot directions for several original variations in colored linen floss. These variations include overshot-style skips combined with plain weave and mixed-color pattern rows, suggested for bags, upholstery and chair seats.
