The main pattern is a series of diagonal lines from lower right to upper left. These are chevron lines in black and yellow edged in dark blue. There are two sizes of stripes: [1] narrow stripes: red ground, faded to pink, a repeat but alternately inverted pattern of stylised white, light blue and mauve flowers. [2] wider stripes: yellow ground with two lozenge compositions of a densely stylised symmetrical flowering stem, one seemingly more green in colour with pinker flowers and buds, the other more orange and light blue. There is a narrow border down the lower part of each side. The bottom border is delineated by two green and light green chevrons edged in dark blue; it has a yellow ground with a white and mauve flower head alternating with a faded red and orange flower head separated by a semi-circular spray of small blue and white flowers. Threads: 2S silk: white, yellow, light blue, dark blue, red [faded], rose, dark pink, light mauve, dark mauve, light green, dark green, black.
