flat knot, detail _a_; waved knots by a slight twist given to the
plaited knots from left to right, detail _b_. These plaits of waved
knots are secured by joining together the threads of opposite meshes,
two and two, by a flat double knot.

SINGLE CROSSED KNOTS AND DOUBLE CROSSED KNOTS (figs. 532 and
533).--Two plain crossings of the threads, detail _a_, to begin with;
after which you rapidly reverse the threads, turning the knot to the
wrong side, drawing it up tightly at the same time; this forms the first
knot, detail _b_. The second knot, fig. 533, is formed by 3 crossings,
detail _a_; reverse the threads rapidly, to form the double crossed
knot, detail _b_. For the following knots tie the threads together, as
for the flat double knot, detail _c_.

LOOPED PICOT AND KNOTTED PICOTS (figs. 534 and 535).--Looped picots
are made along a row of knots by setting the knots, far enough apart for
the loop between, to form a picot when the knots are drawn up close
together. In fig. 534, the detail _a_ represents the picot, in its first
open stage, detail _b_ the same picot when it is finished.

Knotted picots, fig. 535, are formed after one or more flat double
knots, by a knot made in the outer thread; to get this knot into the
right place, make it on a big pin and draw it up close to the flat knot
before you take out the pin.

[Illustration: FIG. 532. SINGLE CROSSED KNOT.]

[Illustration: FIG. 533. DOUBLE CROSSED KNOT.]

These picots are always made on both sides and can be repeated several
times along a row of knots. Detail _a_ shows the crossing of the threads
for the picots, detail _b_ the picots completed and followed by a flat
knot.

[Illustration: FIG. 536. BEAD KNOTS.]

BEAD KNOTS (fig. 536).--A bead knot is made by turning back the
threads after a row of flat double knots. Detail _a_ shows three flat
double knots finished, detail _b_ the inner threads turned back over the
flat double knots, detail _c_ the two knotting threads, brought between
the two threads coming from the left to the right, and detail _d_ the
bead knot finished and followed by a flat double knot.

BARS OF KNOTS TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT (figs. 537, 538, 539, 540, 541,
542, 543, 544).--After knotti
