Abstract: The study described the weave patterns used in abel products like slippers, face masks, and pouch bags and developed weaving codes in designing these products. The coding theory, an application of number theory and the use of the binary decimal codes, was used and applied to describe and develop the codes of the designs in the Abel Iloko Products in Ilocos Sur. The result guided the researchers in generating weaving codes for the designs of slippers, face masks, pouches, and bags. The study employed descriptive and developmental research designs. It explored the different weave patterns found in the Abel Iloko products. It is developmental because the study aims to generate weaving codes based on the patterns used in the production of Abel Iloko. Moreover, the results provide new research directions and ideas for innovation. Based on the findings, the following are recommended: Instructional medium may be used as a medium of learning for students in Ilocos Sur, where learning could be made more varied, and students get to know their culture and preserve the culture of Abel Iloko products. Researchers may use the results as a basis for future research to develop a warp-weighted loom simulation so that historical weaving processes may be explored and shared to generate new fabrication possibilities.
