Figure 116.—Left edge of sleeping mat, methods of turning in the sinistral wefts:
a, the wefts (1) are turned in to function as dextrals by a direct bend without exposing the other surface; b, the wefts (1) are turned in with a half-turn which brings up the other surface of the wefts; c, fresh dextral weft butts (1) are added to the left margin of the plaiting to build up the left edge with each successive working section.
