Mats woven for this design should be of the following diameters: 304 (5 feet); 335 (6 feet); 366 straws (7 feet).
Plate LXII. Gecko design.
Divide the circle into sixths, then into twelfths. Weave a border band on the edge of the mat ¾ 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 3½ inches and weave a gecko, half on one side and half on the other side of the line, extending the tail about 5½ 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.
