A Handbook of Weaves

G. H. Oelsner

Pattern Book

G. H. Oelsner’s A Handbook of Weaves is the best known and mostaccessible weaving pattern book.

Kris Bruland has digitized the patterns in this book and put WIFsfor them on http://www.handweaving.net, where they can be down-loaded without charge.

The patterns here have been derived from the WIFs and providedfor browsing and easy identification of patterns of interest.

The patterns are organized by size, width first. Identifying numbersfor the WIFs are given below the patterns. For example, 31710 refers to31710.wif on http://www.handweaving.net.

There are two separately paginated sections. The first section of 15pages contains color-and-weave effect patterns. The second section con-tains the rest of the patterns.
