MACRAME FRINGE (figs. 560 and 561).--Entire length of the threads,
including the fringe, for No. 5 of Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C: 120 c/m.

[Illustration: FIG. 560. MACRAME FRINGE. MATERIALS: Cordonnet 6 fils
D.M.C Nos. 3 to 25 or Fil a dentelle D.M.C Nos. 25 to 50. COLOURS:
Brun-Cuir 431 and 432, Bleu-Indigo 31]

1st row--knot on the threads, as in fig. 520, in the following order: 4
double blue threads, 3 single dark brown, 1 double light brown, 3 single
dark brown; then again 4 double blue, and so on.

2nd row--divide the threads into groups, so that the brown threads come
in the middle with 4 blue ones on either side. Begin on the left = cover
the 4th blue thread, which comes nearest to the first brown one, with
flat double knots, made over the 1st, 2nd and 3rd brown thread and the
light brown one = cover the 3rd blue thread with the 4 brown threads and
the 4th blue, which served as the cord in the 1st row of knots = cover
the 2nd blue thread with the 4 brown and the 4th and 3rd blue = cover
the 1st blue with the 4 brown and the 4th, 3rd and 2nd blue.

In the working detail, fig. 561, the dark lines represent the blue
threads, the light ones, the brown.

When the quadruple bar, slanting from left to right, is finished, make a
similar one, from right to left, then connect the 1st and 16th thread by
a double knot and pass the first blue thread on the left over to the
right group.

2nd row--make similar groups, reversed, so that the brown knots come
next to the last blue ones and the blue knots again terminate the groups
of bars; the brown threads will be stretched flat between the preceding
group and the next.

3rd and 5th row--like the first.

4th row--like the 2nd.

After the 5th row of groups, take 4 brown threads on either side of the
blue knots, and make them into a double chain, fig. 546, consisting of
12 knots, and make 6 flat double knots with the last threads.

Lastly, unite all the threads of one group of bars, and make them into a
handsome tassel by the addition of other threads.
