Lavandera Design.

The distance from A to B is 15 straws; from B to C is 4; from C to D is 40; from D to E is 21; from E to F is 3; from F to G is 4; from G to H is 3; from D to I is 12; from I to J is 13; from I to K is 18; from K to O is 5; from O to L is 2; from L to M is 26; and from M to N is 28.

Count down from A to B and mark B and C. Place similar marks at the three other corners of the mat. Weave the border line around the entire mat, touching the marked points. Count from C to G, mark, and do the same in the other three corners.

Weave G H around the mat, touching the marked points at the corners. Count from C to D and over to I, and weave I J. Weave the whole figure just started, and the figure facing it, including the ground line beneath. Weave the other corners in a similar manner.

At K count to O, back to L, over to M, and weave the figure beneath M. Mark off L M and M N. Now continue marking alternately across the side s.p.a.ces equal to L M and M N, making the last s.p.a.ce equal to L M. Weave the figure between these marks and continue marking and weaving in the same way on the other sides.

Mats woven for this design should be made: 237 by 399; 345 by 507; 690 by 1014 (units double size); 453 by 615.

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

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

Man with Bow and Arrow Design.

The distance from A to B is 20 straws; from B to C is 2; from C to D is 30; from D to E is 17; from E to F is 66; from F to G is 3; from G to H is 11 1/2; from H to I is 9; from J to K is 17; from I to L is 33; and from L to M is 14 1/2.

Count from A to B. At B weave the border band around the entire mat. Count from C to F (113) and weave the inner border line around the entire mat. Now weave all four corner designs. Count from G to H and up to I, and weave the two figures.

To place the next two figures, which are exactly like the two just woven, count out from J, 17 straws, and repeat from K which is the tip of the arrow of the first figure, just made.

Mats woven for this design should be: 345 by 501, 9 straws; 505 by 739, 11; 739 by 1051, 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 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:
