To work round netting, put the needle through the loop without changing the place of the finger or loop, turn the needle round and put it into the stitch of the preceding line from above downwards, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 39.

The working thread must remain on the right hand of the needle, and the stitch is then drawn up in the usual manner.

Fig. 40. For loop netting, work two rows of ordinary netting. In the third row work two stitches into one, twist the thread twice round- the mesh. Repeat for the required length.

4th row: Work two loops into the long stitches of the last row, twist the thread twice round. Repeat to the end of the row, and continue working only the fourth row.

Figure 41 is for working diamonds in round netting. The number of stitches for each diamond is five and one over at the end.
