[Illustration: FIG. 587. WORKING DETAIL OF FIG. 586.]

MACRAME FRINGE OR GROUND (figs. 586 and 587).--Entire length of the
threads for No. 8 of Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C: 150 c/m.

This effective pattern is not difficult, save in appearance, so that it
is unnecessary to describe it in detail; for the knotting on, see fig.
525; for the plain bars, figs. 539 to 544; for the collecting knots,
fig. 530. The only difficult point is where the threads cross each other
inside the bars and form a check and by carefully following the course
of the knots in fig. 587, that will be easily overcome.

FRINGE OR GROUND WITH PICOTS (fig. 588).--Wind the threads on shuttles
and do the knotting on, as in fig. 521, followed by a double horizontal
bar.

Leave a small space between the double bar and the 3rd bar, which is a
single one, in which you cross the threads without knotting them.

Beginning on the left--over the 2nd and 3rd thread: 2 buttonhole knots,
1 picot, 2 button hole knots = over the 1st, 2nd and 3rd thread: 1
double knot with each of the 3 next threads = over the 6th and 7th with
the 5th thread: 4 buttonhole knots with 1 picot after the 2nd knot.

With each of the 4 next threads, that is the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th: 1
flat double knot followed by: 1 bar of double knots over the 12th thread
as the cord, made with the 11th, 10th and 9th thread = add 1 bar with
the 11th thread as the cord, and the 7 next ones as the knotting threads
= add 1 bar with the 10th thread as the cord, and the 7 next ones as the
knotting threads. Leave 3 threads free on the right = with the 8 threads
on the left: 1 bar over the thread before these 3 threads = leave 3 free
again on the right = 1 quintuple bar with the remaining threads.

* 1 flat double knot with the 15th, 16th and 17th thread = with the 20th
thread, over the 19th, 18th and 17th thread: 4 buttonhole knots with 1
picot after 2 knots = knot 4 threads over the 13th thread and from left
to right = from left to right, 2 bars with all the threads **.
