NETTING
12. A LONG PURSE IN HONEYCOMB PATTERN. _Materials--Three skeins of coarse purse silk, either a rich green, dark blue, or cerise, according to fancy; mesh No. 12_. For the length, you will require a foundation of 72 stitches. _1st row_. Net plain.-- _2d row_. Net the 2d stitch, then the 1st, now net the 4th, and afterwards the 3d; continue in this way to the end of the row.-- _3d row_. The first and every alternate stitch of last row will appear to be twisted, into which net 1 stitch; but into 2d and every other net 2; repeat to the end of the row.-- _4th row_. Net plain, leaving the extra stitches of last row unnetted; these 4 rows form the pattern, which must be repeated fourteen times more; join one-third of the rows together at each side, net 2 rows round the opening with a No. 21 mesh, draw up the ends, and finish with steel tassels and slides. * * * * * |
