More similarities and Pattern #19

I've found some more designs with similarities to the Russian patterns I've been working on. I think these are Swedish, I found a PDF online at The On-Line Digital Archive of Documents on Weaving and Related Topics of [Malmöhus Läns Hemslöjdsförening]. Gammal Allmogeslöjd Från Malmöhus Lan; Häftet 6 [Old Peasant Handicraft from Malmoehus County; White Work. Booklet 6], County Handicraft Association, 89 pages.

There are some of the same motifs, some similar motifs, and some completely different motifs used, and the same is true for the techniques used. There were enough similarities that I found it very interesting. I charted a design in Fig. 288, but haven't stitched an example. The chart is below.


This is almost identical to one of the Russian patterns:
