Part 11 (2/2)

Count down from corner A to B and weave the corner design. Now weave all four corner designs. Begin at F and weave the inner border line entirely around the mat.

Count from F to G and weave the design above G. Count from H to I and weave the second design. Now count from G to J and weave the figure above J exactly like the figure above G.

Mats woven for this design should be 254 by 416, 308 by 524, 416 by 524, or 590 by 806 straws. The last mat has a change in margin, and the distance from A to B is 58 straws.

This mat may be embroidered in the following colors:

No. 3, 6, 10, or 15.

Orchid Design.

The distance from the corner A to B is 13 straws; from B to C, 2; from C to D, 19; from D to E, 35; from E to F, 17; from C to F, 71; from F to G, 2; from G to H, 19; from M to N, 6; from F to M, 67; from M to K, 13; and from K to J, 19.

Begin weaving at B and weave the outside border line around the entire mat. Next count from C to F and weave the inside border line. Now weave all four corner designs. Count from F to M, then up to K, and weave from K to J. [37]

To find the position of the next design count 81 straws beyond L along the inner border line, and then up the same distance as L K.

Mats woven for this design should be 301 by 544; 220 by 382; 301 by 463; and 550 by 712 straws. In mat 550 by 712, A B is 17 straws.

In mats of natural color straw, the following colors may be used in the designs:

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

No. 3 with flowers of No. 1 and border lines of No. 9 except on sabutan.

No. 12 with flowers of No. 7 and border lines of No. 15.

Woman Carrying Clothes Design.

The distance from A to B is 29 straws; from B to C is 2; from C to D is 36; from I to J is 3; from B to E is 11; from E to K is 9; from E to F is 21; from F to G is 3; and from G to H is 10.

Count from A, the corner of the mat, to B. At B begin to weave the border line. Weave first to E, then entirely around the mat.

Now count from C to D and weave the inner border line entirely around the mat. Next, weave in the four corner designs. Count from E to F, then down to G. From G to H is 10 straws. Now weave the first two designs on the side and then the next two, and so on.

Mats woven for this design should be 300 by 392; 304 by 534; 254 by 346; or 568 by 706.

On all of these mats the design will look better if twice the size of the pattern. Therefore all the above distances will be double, or as follows:

A to B, 58 straws; B to C, 4; B to E, 22; E to F, 42; C to D, 72 straws; I to J, 6; E to K, 18; F to G, 6.

In mat 304 by 534, E to K is 20 and A to B is 51 (already double). In mat 568 by 706, from A (corner of mat) to B is 39, making E to K 14 straws (already doubled).
