Rh passed over in the previous row, work one stitch into it. Repeat from the beginning of the row.

The manner of passing the long loop through the centre of the three stitches is clearly shown by the thin line in the pattern.

This pattern is very pretty for edging a scarf for the neck. It should be worked in rather fine linen thread. CROSS NETTING. 1st row: Plain netting.

2nd row; Net alternately one long and one common stitch. 3rd row: Work entirely in short stitches which naturally draw unevenly.

4th row: Consists alternately of long and short stitches, but instead of working them in the usual way draw a stitch of the last row through the long loops of the second row and net it; continue to work a long and short stitch alternately in this way through the row. Repeat the third and fourth rows alternately. STAR NETTING. Cross and star netting very much resemble each other; after working the cross, little difficulty will be found in working the star netting.

1st row: One double and one plain stitch alternately, using a knitting needle mesh.

2nd row: Net plain with a mesh one third of an inch wide.

3rd row: Draw one stitch of second row through long loop of first row, net it again with a short stitch, draw the next loop through the same long loop of first and net it with a long stitch (i.e. cotton twice round the mesh). Repeat the second and third rows for length required.
