051, 11.
In mats 505 by 739, and 739 by 1051, from A to B is 24 straws.
This design in tikug may be worked up in the following colors on
natural color straw:
Solid, No. 2, 3, 6, 10, or 15.
Casa Design.
The distance from the corner A to B is 22 straws;
from B to C is 33;
from C to D is 24; and
from F to G is 17.
Count down from A to B and weave border line around the entire
mat. Now count from B to D and from D to E, 3 1/2 straws, and commence
weaving the inner border line. When completed, weave in all four corner
designs. Count from F to G and weave in the next design, and so on. Let
H I, the steps, be on the left of every casa except the corner ones.
Mats woven for this design should be 254 by 407 straws; 271 by 424;
304 by 542 (double); 406 by 542 (double); or 576 by 712. In the last
three of these, 304 by 542, 406 by 542, and 576 by 712, the counts
should all be doubled, the designs being twice the size of those in the
first two mats; that is, from A to B will be 44, B to C, 66, and so on.
Tikug mats in natural straw may be embroidered in the following colors:
No. 14 for casa, No. 12 for tree, No. 15 for border lines except
on sabutan;
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;
No. 16 should not be used on sabutan.
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 space on the right of the corner is one less than
the space 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).
