A weaving study project by Helen Daniels Young on how borders relate to the main body of a pattern, using the four-block overshot pattern Sweet-Briar Beauty throughout. It covers standard border figures (twill variations, overshot tables, stars, roses, wheels), color planning for a series of mats and napkins, and complete drafts, profiles, warp and weft plans and threading plans for twill, scalloped, diamond, and star-and-circle borders. The study then transposes the pattern and borders to multi-harness weaves: 6-harness Summer and Winter (including crackle and bird's eye treadings), Bronson lace, and 16-harness double-faced twill for napkins and a tablecloth. The back page lists other monographs by the author.

A short pamphlet by Helen Daniels Young, written for novice weavers, explaining how to weave an overshot pattern "on the diagonal" by reading the design-spaces in the warp rather than following a written draft or treadling directions. It includes a practice project (a short warp with sett, threading plan and materials), step-by-step instructions for squaring blocks along the diagonal, and a weaving theory section covering drafts, tabby, pattern harness pairs, blocks, threads-in-common, half-tones, units, and 2-block (Swedish, "on opposites") overshot. The last page lists other Helen D. Young monographs and publications available from Two Cape Cod Weavers.
