Strand 8—Over 2, under 3, over 3, under 3, and so on.
Strand 9—Under 1, over 2, under 1, over 2, and so on.
Nine strands comprise the unit. One half of the unit from strand 5 is a repetition of the first half except that the order is reversed. Thus strands 4 and 6, 3 and 7, 2 and 8, and 1 and 9 are identical in weave. Repeat the unit until the seat is completed.
FIG. 66. DESIGN OF INDIAN SPLINTS.
The design produced in [Fig. 66] is obtained by skipping certain strands for rather unusual distances. This may be done in instances where the pattern is begun at the center of the area. No strand should be omitted its entire length however. Any number of designs may be worked out, limited only by the patience and ingenuity of the individual worker.
A design for a seat or panel not illustrated herein, but which is particularly pleasing in its general effect, is produced by a unit of six strands repeated indefinitely. The weaving is started as in the diagonal weave and the process may be indicated as follows:
Strand 1—Over 1, under 3, over 3, under 3, and so on.
Strand 2—Over 2, under 3, over 3, under 3, and so on.
