In this self-contained exposition, results are developed concerning one-factorizations of complete graphs, and incidence matrices are used to turn these factorization results into embedding theorems on Steiner triple systems. The result is a constructive graphical proof that a Steiner triple system exists for any order congruent to 1 or 3 modulo 6. A pairing construction is then introduced to show that one can also obtain triple systems which are cyclically generated.
