MACRAME GROUND (figs. 566, 567, 568).--Fill the shuttles with the
length of thread that you think will be required for the work.

1st row--knot the threads on, as in fig. 515, 4 blue and 4 ecru
alternately, and make a double horizontal bar.

2nd row--beginning in the middle, make 2 flat double knots with 8 blue
threads; with the 4 blue threads on the left, make a quadruple group of
bars over the 4 blue threads on the right. These quadruple groups of
bars, called "shell bars" are illustrated in detail in fig. 567. Unite
the blue threads at the sides by flat double knots.

The beginning and continuation of the openwork parts of the pattern are
explained in fig. 568.

The threads that issue from the last group of knots are used for making
the second shell bar, the two inner bars of which are made in ecru
cotton, and the two outer in blue. When this striped shell bar is
finished, the blue threads are again united for the openwork figure.

FRINGE WITH FOUNDATION WORKED ON THE WRONG SIDE (figs. 569, 570, 571,
572).--Entire length of the threads for No. 8 of Coton a tricoter D.M.C:
80 c/m.

Knot the threads on, as in fig. 515 and after finishing the horizontal
bar, make from left to right, over the 1st thread, 1 double knot made
with the 2nd and with the 3rd thread.

Then, over the 2nd thread, which has now become the 1st, make double
knots with the 3rd, 1st, 4th and 5th thread; then, over the 3rd thread,
counting now from right to left, which in the knotting on figured as the
4th: 1 double knot with the 5th and 2nd thread.

Make the same group from right to left, only at the 3rd change of thread
make 5 double knots instead of 2, and let the last knots count for the
new group of bars, turned the opposite way.
