Part 11 (1/2)

Geometric Design Z.

The distance from the corner A to B is 12 straws; from B to C is 3; from C to D is 16; from D to E is 8; from E to F is 26; from F to G is 17; from G to H is 4; from D to K is 17; from K to L is 12; from L to M is 17; and from I to J is 29.

Count down from A to B and weave the border lines B C around the entire mat. Count from C to D and weave the outer square of the corner figure. Complete the corner figure to I and N. Count from F to G and weave G H around the entire mat. Complete all four corner designs.

Count from I to J and mark. From J count a distance equal to I J and mark. Make similar marks until the corner is reached. Weave the design I L M J between all these marks. s.p.a.ce off each side of the mat in the same way and finish the design on all sides.

Mats woven for this design should be of the following sizes: 309 by 541--from A to B is 12 straws; 319 by 551--from A to B is 22 straws; 280 by 454--from A to B is 12 straws; 551 by 696--from A to B is 22 straws.

On mats of uncolored straw, the following colors may be used:

No. 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 15, or 16. (16 should not be used on sabutan.)

No. 14 for border lines and the four large spots in the side of each square; No. 3 for the remainder of the design.

No. 12 with spots and border lines of No. 3.

Large Banca Design. [36]

Distance from corner A to B is 41 straws; from B to C, 2; from B to G, 31; from G to S, 5; from C to D, 35; from D to E, 2; and from D to F, 10.

Begin weaving at letter B and weave the outer border line around the entire mat. Next weave the inside border line beginning at D.

After finis.h.i.+ng the border lines, weave all four corner designs.

Count from C to H, 9 straws; from H to I, 5; from I to J, 27; from J to K, 5; from L to M, 6; and from N to O, 8.

Now weave from O to P. From P to Q is 4 straws, and from P to R is 7 straws.

Mats woven for this design should be: 239 by 425; 301 by 487; 301 by 549; 555 by 741.

In the last mat, 555 by 741, G to S is 8 instead of 5.

On ticug mats of natural straw this design may be embroidered in the following colors:

No. 2, 3, 6, or 15, solid.

No. 14 with border lines of No. 15 (except on sabutan).

No. 14 with border lines of No. 9.

Chick Design.

The distance from A to B is 50 straws (count first fold); from B to C is 21; from C to D is 6; from D to E is 19; from E to F is 7; from F to G is 18; from H to I is 5; and from G to J is 54.
