over all the 14 threads that
come from the bars and run inwards.
In the middle of the square there must be 9 flat double knots; when
these are made, you continue knotting the red thread from the right and
left, down to the bottom point of the square, and complete the figure by
a single bar of knots, made of the white thread.

Knotted tassels, hanging from the points of the scallops, and others
ornamented with flat double knots made of 10 threads, suspended between
the scallops, form the outside finish to this fringe.

607, 608, 609, 610).--Entire length of the threads for No. 15 of

The present pattern, which concludes our chapter on macrame work, is one
of the most difficult of all, requiring great accuracy in every
particular, but more especially, extremely careful attention to the
direction of the cords, that the groups of double knots and the bars may
be drawn up very tightly together, so as to make the pattern very
distinct and give each figure its proper value.

WORKING DETAIL OF FIG. 604.]
For each repetition of the subject 16 threads are wanted. You begin the
half stars, on each side of the lozenges, with the 15th and 16th double
thread of the first figure and make 3 double knots with 3 threads over a
4th thread, fig. 606.
Over 2 cords on the left and 2 on the right, consequently over 4
threads: 5 buttonhole knots, with the 4 threads and the disengaged
threads, 1 flat double knot over each of the 4 threads. This forms a
shell knot, on either side of which, make 3 buttonhole knots over 3
threads.
[Illustration: FIG. 606. ADDITION OF THE OTHER SUPPLEMENTARY THREADS.
WORKING DETAIL OF FIG. 604.]
For the groups of bars on either side of the shell, take the 11th,
12th, 13th and 14th double thread on the left, and the 3rd, 4th, 5th and
6th on the right. These groups are joined by buttonhole knots.
Knot the 4 threads of the left group over the cord on the right; and
over them again the 2 next threads on the right; knot the 4 threa
