broidered 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).
This design in ticug straw will work up well in No. 5 solid; in No. 4
solid; in No. 3 solid; in No. 5 with No. 2 as inner and outer border
line, or with No. 1 as inner and outer border line.
This design on sabutan straw may be made i
