160 ROSE NETTING.

This pretty stitch seems a little complicated at first, but by following the directions exactly it can be easily worked. Two meshes are needed for this pattern, bearing to each other the same proportion that a coarse knitting needle would to a mesh one third of an inch wide.

1st row: Net plain over the wide mesh.

2nd row: Net over the small mesh thus: First draw the first long loop through the second and net it, then draw the second through the first and net it.

Fig. 43.

(Fig. 43.) shows rose netting with ribbon velvet run in at each fifth pattern and the intermediate rows are darned with colored silk.

HONEYCOMB NETTING.

An even number of stitches is needed for this pattern.
