This berry is made over the 8 threads that come from the chains, with a
long auxiliary thread, knotted as shown in fig. 590.

Large shell knots, as described in figs. 591 and 592 may be substituted
in the place of the berry, fig. 590.

MACRAME BORDER (fig. 593).--Fill 24 shuttles, knotted together, that
is, 2 and 2, and knot on 3 green threads, 6 gold and 3 green. The
changing of the threads and the course of the knots can be so easily
copied from the pattern that a description in detail is not necessary,
it is sufficient to observe that all the dark parts in the engraving
should be worked in green and the light ones in gold.

in ecru thread and gold beads; the latter go very well with any colour
and especially with the more subdued shades of green, such as the
Vert-Mousse, Vert Bouteille and Gris-Tilleul of the D.M.C colour card.

illustrates the way in which tapestry and cross-stitch patterns can be
utilised for macrame.

All patterns that are drawn on checked paper can be copied in macrame
and even in several colours. For every square, you count either one
single or one double thread, according to the scale on which the work is
to be.

In the case of a single thread, you count one double knot per square, in
that of a double one, 4 double knots, two in the first and two in the
second row.

After knotting the threads together, two and two, and pinning them to
the cushion, see letter _a_, make 2 single chains with 2 changes of the
