Four fundamental dimer manipulations can be used to produce a variety of localized and extended defect structures in graphene. Two-dimensional templates result in graphene allotropes, here viewed as extended defects, which can exhibit either metallic or semiconducting electrical character. \emph{Embedded allotropic ribbons}--i.e. thin swaths of the new allotropes--can also be created within graphene. We examine these ribbons and find that they maintain the electrical character of their parent allotrope even when only a few atoms in width. Such extended defects may facilitate the construction of monolithic electronic circuitry.
