This entire book features simple patterns from Apache, Blackfoot, Sioux, Navajo, Grows, Cheyenne, and Pueblo Indians. The patterns originate from various objects, including Beadwork blankets. These patterns can be adapted to just about any skill set as they are just “blocks” with colors in them, so yes, it works well for needlepoint and Beadwork, but can also be adapted to weaving. It would be prudent to add this pamphlet to your repertoire of plans and designs.
