Crochet always eleven of these picots in one row ; then reckoning the last as the point of one of the bunches of fringe, work upon the remaining ten, ten more picots back, looping each middle double-stitch in the chain taken up by the double of the picot of the first row; six chain form the joining to the next fringe bunch, the three first picots of which are joined onby single instead of three chain to the three upper picots of the finished fringe. When the fringe is sufficiently long, join it by the last pattern to the round, crochet five double round the six chain at the joining of the separate patterns ; and for the upper conclusion work a picot row, containing alternately one picot and one double in every other stitch of the preceding row. The fringe measures five inches in length, and the tufts are two threads thick, tied on as shown in the design ; and the heading is carefully sewn to the edge of the net, as shown in No. 1. The little leaves extending from the fringe are ornamented with picots ; the larger contains six, the smaller four picots on each side.
