Article by Clara M. Youse in The Weaver (July 1939) on a tree-like pattern she copied from an early 18th-century John Speck pattern book in the Pennsylvania Museum, Philadelphia. She gives drafts for 6-harness summer and winter (rose fashion and as drawn in) and 4-harness overshot. She also gives a free-hand weaving version and a Swedish Dukagång version of the tree motif. The text covers warp and weft yarns, colors, reed setting, a 58-thread repeat, and instructions for a Dukagång pillow top on a table loom. Pages show drafts, a tree detail diagram, and photographs of woven samples.
