cluding the fringe.

1st row--knot on the threads as in fig. 515.

2nd row--1 double horizontal bar of knots, as in figs. 519 or 520, over
double cords.

3rd row--Take 8 threads for a group of bars; 2 light and 2 dark ones on
each side; the two sets of threads are numbered in fig. 552, a working
detail of fig. 551, from 1 to 4.

Begin by making all the knots over threads 1 and 2 of the left set, so
that threads 3 and 4 on the left will be outside and threads 1 and 2
inside the group. Make the same knots over the 3rd and 4th thread on the
right, then repeat the left group again and so on.

[Illustration: FIG. 551. INSERTION OR FRINGE. MATERIALS: Coton a
tricoter D.M.C Nos. 6 to 13, Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C Nos. 1 to 20, Fil a
pointer D.M.C Nos. 10 to 30, or Fil a dentelle D.M.C Nos. 25 to 50.
COLOURS: Bleu-indigo 311 and Brun-Chamois 418, or Brun-Rouille 3312 and
Bleu-Gris 3303.]

Repeat from the beginning, and make 2 double knots over thread 3 on the
right, fig. 552, with threads 1 and 2 on the left, then again 2 knots
over thread 4 on the right. When this series of knots is finished, make:
3 double knots over thread 1 (dark-coloured in the engraving) with the
left thread 2 and the right threads 1 and 2; make on the left: 3 knots
over thread 4 with the right thread 3 and the left threads 2 and 1, and
so on.

When this pattern is worked for a gimp and not a fringe, the threads are
made to end in knots, as explained in fig. 558.

[Illustration: FIG. 552. WORKING DETAIL OF FIG. 551]

GIMP MADE WITH MACRAME SHUTTLES (figs. 553, 554, 555).--Cut 8 double
threads of the length the gimp is to be.

In order not to have to add on threads in the middle of the work, or
have long ends hanging down, which are very much in the way, we
recommend the employment of a new macrame shuttle, a kind of spool, such
as are used in the making of pillow lace. These shuttles simplify the
work enormously and are made hollow so that they can be mounted and
filled on the spindle of any sewing machine.

Knot on the threads, as in fig. 515, and make a single bar of knots.
Then leaving 2 threads on the right and 2 on the left disengaged, make 3
flat double knots with every set of 4 threads between. Make a slanting
bar of double knots over the 16th right thread, with the 15th, 14th,
13th, 12th, 11th, 10th and 9th thread; then make knots with the same
threads and with the 16th over the 15th thread. Make a similar bar on
the left, over the 1st
