A personal weaving pattern book and sketch book kept by H. Crowther, dated 1924 on the cover, in landscape format. It combines mounted fabric swatches (plaids, herringbone, hopsack, twill) and point-paper drawdowns with hand-painted colour swatches, colour wheels, repeat designs and pencil sketches. Handwritten notes name structures such as Shepherds Plaid woven 2/2 feather, 4/4 herringbone with 4/4 hopsack, and 2/2 twill. It looks like a student's or designer's book on textile design and colour theory.
