What you seeThe keffiyeh's fishnet in black on cream meets a counted field of red cross-stitch stars. The two patterns join along a single diagonal seam in black and red.

What it meansThe keffiyeh, a woven cotton scarf with a fishnet field, and tatreez, cross-stitch embroidery traditionally worked by women on dresses, are two of the best-known Palestinian textile traditions. Both are built on a grid, one woven and one stitched.

Where it worksTwo textiles meet in one frame, showing how closely their grids align. Black, red and cream make it a strong link between the Keffiyeh and Tatreez prints.
