No. 3 for casa, No. 15 for tree, No. 8 for border lines; and Nos. 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, or 16, solid;

Chicken Vender Design.

The distance from the corner A to B is 15 straws, counting the corner fold as 1. All counts in this design are woven double.

Therefore from A to B is 30; from B to C is 17 by 2 or 34; from C to D is 44; from E to G is 16; from F to H is 14; from B to D is 78; from G to I is 24; and from J to K is 30.

Notice that the s.p.a.ce on the right of the corner is one less than the s.p.a.ce on the left; this will occur on the right and left of each corner. Count down from corner A to B and weave a line entirely around the mat. Count from B to D and weave the inner border line. Now weave the basket in each corner. Then weave from G to I and J to K, and so on.

Mats woven for this design should be: 332 (7) by 512 (12)--from A to B is 30 straws; 260 (5) by 404 (9)--from A to B is 30; 260 (5) by 476 (11)--from A to B is 30; or 512 by 692 (17)--from A to B is 30.

On tikug mats of natural color this design may be embroidered in the following colors:

No. 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, or 16. (16 should not be used on sabutan).

No. 14 with a single straw outline and solid border lines of No. 9, 8, or 3.

No. 14 with outlines of No. 3 and baskets and hats of No. 1, except on sabutan.

Carabao, Cart, and Driver Design.

The distance from A to B is 32 straws, but it must be woven twice that size, making A B equal 64.

All the sizes given below are double the count on the drawings: from A to B is 64; from B to C is 40; from C to D is 18; from D to E is 6; from D to F is 8; from A to D is 122; from B to I is 30; and from G to H is 16.

Count from the corner A to B and weave B C. Count from A to D and mark off D. Count from C to D and test the count. From each corner of the mat make a count similar to A D and mark. Weave the border line, commencing at D, around the entire mat, touching the marks at the corners. Weave design B C, and a similar design in each remaining corner. Count from B to I and weave design I J. At J count 2 and weave another design like I J facing I J. The s.p.a.ce between the backs of the carts, not shown on this diagram, is 6.

Mats woven for this design should be in the following sizes: 258 by 396; 258 by 534; 396 by 534; 534 by 672; or 672 by 810.

In tikug mats of natural color straw the following colors may be used:

Singly, No. 2, 3, 6, 10, or 15; and No. 3 with border line of No. 9.
