ft end of the cushion, hold it tightly
extended in a horizontal line with the right hand. With the left hand
knot the threads that are pinned down on to the cord, looping each end
twice round it, upwards from below and then drawing it through between
the two loops or knots thus formed, pulling each knot to the left as you
tighten it round the cord. Make the second row of knots in the same way,
taking care to lay the second cord as close to the first as possible
that the vertical threads may not be visible between. One series of
knots forms a bar; there are both horizontal and slanting bars as will
be seen later on.

KNOTTING ON THREADS WITH A FRINGE HEADING (fig. 520).--Knot the
threads on with a picot heading, as explained in the preceding figure,
then cut the picots through and unravel and comb out the threads.

For this way of knotting on threads, a very strongly twisted material is
better than a loose one, as when it is cut and untwisted, it makes a
much richer and fuller fringe.

KNOTTING ON WITH PICOTS AND FLAT DOUBLE KNOTS (fig. 521).--Take two
threads, pin them on close together, make a flat double knot, fig. 516,
tying the outer threads over the inner ones, and loop the ends over a
cord to make a horizontal bar of knots.

KNOTTING ON THREADS WITH PICOTS AND TWO FLAT DOUBLE KNOTS (figs. 522
and 523).--Pin the two threads on as before and make two flat double
knots, one below the other; detail _a_ shows the first knot begun,
detail _b_ the two knots completed. Fig. 523 shows the picots secured by
a horizontal bar of knots beneath them.

KNOTTING ON THREADS WITH SCALLOPS (fig. 524).--The threads for the
scallops must be cut much longer than those that are to be knotted on
below them. The buttonhole loops must be so made that they turn upwards;
and there must be 12 of them, all made with the left hand thread over
the right hand thread, detail _a_. Then, knot on two double threads
underneath the scallop and besides, make knots with the threads that
come from the scallops, detail _b_.
