border line in No. 3. No. 3, 6, 9, or 10, with outer border line extending to edge of mat. Design B. In Design B, the mat should be 56 inches in diameter. In each sixteenth of the mat, as in Design A, three units can be spaced. Note the unit marked off in the design and use only this unit; weave its two outer solid parts first, with the irregularities of space occurring in the open part of the unit. [35] Mats woven for this design should be 56 or 112 inches in diameter. In mats of the latter size the numbers of straws are all doubled. In mats of natural straw, the following colors may be used: No. 2, 3, 6, 10, 15, or 16. (16 should not be used on sabutan.) Circular Fish Design. This design calls for the division of a circular mat into sixths or twelfths, according to the size of the mat. The diameters of mats for this design may be, 244 (about 4 feet); 304 (5 feet); 335 (6 feet); and 366 straws (7 feet). To divide a circle into sixths, mark off the circumference into distances equal to 1/2 of the diameter. In a mat of 244 straws diameter, make the outside border line one inch from the edges of the mat. About 9 inches inside of the outer border line, weave another border line one-half inch wide. Midway between these two border lines, measure and mark the space for the center fish, making it 30 counts long, 20 on the left and 10 on the right of the dividing line. Measure spaces on the other five dividing lines to locate the central fish of each group. After weaving these central fish, go back to the first group, estimate and mark the place for the upper fish and the lower fish, and weave them, making each of the same size and proportion as the central fish, as shown in the design. In mat 304, as noted above, the border lines and all the fish are the same size as in mat 244. In mat 335 all measurements are the same as in the above mats, except that the circle is divided into twelfths instead of sixths, making twice as many groups of fish. In mat 366 the outer border line is 2 inches from the edge of the mat instead of 1 inch and is 1 1/2 inches thick. The other measurements are the same as in mat 335. In mats of natural straw, the following colors may be used: No. 2, 3, 6, 10, 12, or 15. (12 should not be used on sabutan.) Gecko Design. Mats woven for this design should be of the following diameters: 304 (5 feet); 335 (6 feet); 366 straws (7 feet). Divide the circle into
