Mušterske bukve Jožefa Bernika 1878 [Pattern Book of Jožef Bernik 1878]
Jožef Bernik · c. 1878
Manuscript · 172 pages · Slovenian · weaving drafts
Handwritten Slovenian pattern book (Mušterske bukve) compiled in 1878 by Jožef Bernik, containing about 60 numbered weaving patterns for cloth on 8, 12 and 16 treadles (podložniki). Most pages are hand-ruled drawdown grids, many in magenta or purple hatching, with numeric threading (navlaka) and treadling (floja) sequences, and the patterns include twill and satin (cvilih and atlas) tie-up variants as well as block and star motifs. An introductory section groups the patterns by treadle count and structure, and a closing instruction page explains their use. A table of yarn counts and reed numbers for plain cloth, fish-cloth and spancir is also included, and the book has a few pencil sketches and museum stamps.
