How will a weaver construct a pattern like this? S/he has to start in a similar way as Socrates does by starting with the width of the motif, that is the fourfold small square. This gives the pattern repeat. And this repeat has either an even (left field) or an odd (right field) number of threads.
Please try to fill every field with black and white stones so that they built a square standing on the point and the amount of the used white stones is the same as the amount of the used white stones.
