little ribbed bars running right and left.
To distinguish from the knotting threads, the thread that runs to and
fro it, is represented in a darker colour.

for No. 8 of Coton a tricoter D.M.C: 80 c/m.

[Illustration: FIG. 547. RIBBED BORDER.]

1st row--knot on the threads, as in fig. 515, and in the following
order: 1 double white thread, 2 double red, 1 double blue and so on.

2nd row--make a horizontal bar of knots, see figs. 519, 520 and 521,
over a second cord.

3rd row--3 buttonhole knots, fig. 524, each with 2 threads.

4th row--like the 2nd.

5th row--make slanting bars of double knots right and left, counting 6
threads for each bar, consequently 12 for 2. The 1st and 12th thread
serving as the cords for the knots. In the 2nd series of knots which
forms the double slanting bar, make another double knot over the cord
with the thread that served as cord in the preceding row.

When the slanting bars are finished, bring them as close together as
possible, tighten the last thread on the right and make another double
knot with the left thread; the position of all the threads is clearly
described in fig. 549. Then continue the bars in the opposite direction,
so that the 2nd thread on the left is stretched over the right hand
group of threads, and the 11th thread on the right over the left hand
group.

and white, or Bleu tendre 710, Rouge-Maroquin 3327 and Vert-Fauve 691.]

Make 3 rows of double bars and then take always 3 threads of a left hand
group and 3 of a right hand one, tie them loosely together in a plain
knot, put in, above the knot, a bunch of 8 threads, 15 c/m. long, fig.
550 detail _a_, draw up the knot close to the bars and wind thread of a
different colour several times round it, detail _b_, to form the tassel.

The other bunches of threads which are hung on between two bars of knots
must be tied on the same level with the first, but do not, nevertheless,
come into close contact with the bars.
