econd outer bar. Make a group of bars with the red threads and
cross them 3 times, then finish with a handsome tassel and join the
white threads together all round the square with tassels. In the case of
your wishing to use these squares for making a larger piece of work,
through joining several of them together, you can knot the ends of the
threads into short double chains, finishing off these again with ring
knots, fig. 608, and loops; through these loops, when you come to join
on the next square, the knotting thread is drawn, forming them thus into
connecting picots, like those which you make in tatting.

FRINGE WITH CORNER (figs. 601, 602, 603).--Macrame fringes are not
capable of being drawn up, as knitted, crochet, and netted fringes are,
on the inside, so as to turn the corners. Consequently, according to the
pattern, a greater or less number of supplementary threads have to be
knotted in so as to form the corners.

The working detail, fig. 602, shows us how the 5 first supplementary
threads, are looped on to the 4th row of knots. A group of crossed bars
requires 16 threads, which answer to 4 groups of little squares, placed
between the lozenges. The 6th supplementary thread is put into the
double connecting knot at the corner, fig. 603, and on this, the bar of
knots which runs right and left is subsequently made. (In order to make
it clearer, the supplementary threads are represented in the engraving
in a darker shade).

On the two middle threads, which are a continuation of the connecting
knot, 7 supplementary threads have next to be knotted, thread 7 singly,
threads 8 and 9 together, threads 10, 11, 12 and 13, all singly.

In this manner the supplementary threads 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13 connect
the two cords, whilst threads 8 and 9 only, are mounted separately on
both sides.

WORKING DETAIL OF FIG. 601.]

The bars, formed by the knots which are made with the supplementary
threads, must be drawn tight, like any other double bar. The space left
between the cords in the engraving is intentional, to distinguish the
supplementary threads from the others.

A long, coloured thread is looped on to the topmost thread, between the
two bars, and with this, knots are made
