Swedish Square II

Swedish Flat Weave Technique

The field is arranged in a strict grid of squares, each divided into pinwheeling quadrants of fine parallel stripes set at alternating orientations to create an interlocking pattern across the surface. A small crimson square marks the center of every unit, and identical dots line the outer edge as a border of sorts, with the pale ground showing through the grid intersections. The palette is limited to a warm ivory ground, dark brown-black striping, and the repeated red accents.

An all-over checkerboard grid covers the field edge to edge, alternating small squares of mustard yellow, olive-gold, and pale oatmeal in a shifting, irregular sequence that reads as a shimmer rather than a fixed grid. There is no separate border; the pattern runs directly to the flat selvage, which gives way to a plain warp fringe along the top and bottom edges. A small woven mark sits in the lower right corner, barely distinguishable from the surrounding squares.

The field is organized in an offset brick pattern of rectangular blocks in tones of pale gold, ivory, tan, and soft grey, each block subtly variegated as if hand-brushed. There is no separate border; the checkerboard-like arrangement runs edge to edge, framed only by a narrow woven stripe in alternating light and dark blocks at top and bottom, finished with a fringe of undyed warp ends. A small woven mark appears in the lower right corner of the field.
