sixths, then into twelfths. Weave a border band on the edge of the mat 3/4 inch wide. This band is not in the design but will come outside, and reach to the circumference line in the design. Down one of the twelve dividing lines, inside the border band, measure off 3 1/2 inches and weave a gecko, half on one side and half on the other side of the line, extending the tail about 5 1/2 inches toward the center of the mat. Weave the two on each side of this gecko, and the four above it. Now space and weave the other five groups. Each group contains seven figures. The only difference in the larger mats will be in the spacing between the tails. The groups should be spaced the same as before. In ticug mats of natural straw, the following colors may be used: No. 1 with band of No. 3. No. 1 with band of No. 9. No. 12 with band of No. 15. (No. 3 should not be used on sabutan.) No. (singly) 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, or 15. Geometric Design F. The distance from A (the corner of the mat) to B is 12 straws; from B to C is 2; from C to D is 18; from D to E is 29; from D to H is 16; from H to I is 32; from E to F is 19; and from F to G is 5. Count from A to B. Weave from B to C and on around the entire mat. Count from C to D and weave corner D H J E L. Weave all of the four corner designs exactly like D H J E L. Count from E to F and weave the two inner border lines around the entire mat. Now count from H to I and mark similar points across one side. Weave from H to I. Weave from I to the next point (32 counts distant) the exact design between H and I. Weave at each point marked. Complete all four sides in a similar manner. Mats woven for this design should be made in the following sizes: 310 by 534--from A to B is 34 straws; 266 by 394--from A to B is 22; 512 by 704--from A to B is 12; 320 by 512--from A to B is 12 (double count); 320 by 576--from A to B is 12 (double count). In the last two sizes make the design twice as large as the count; that is, A B should be 24, B C should be 4, C D should be 36, etc. In mats of natural color straw, the following colors may be used: No. 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, or 16, each alone. (12 and 16 should not be used on sabutan.) Geometric Design V. The distance from the corner of the mat A to B is 22 straws; from B to C is 12; from C to D is 4; from D to F is 2; from D to E is 15; from F to G is 15; from L to M is 14; from C to N is 38; from N to O is
