ds on
the left over the 4th thread on the right; make 2 buttonhole knots with
the 4th thread over the 3 threads at the bottom and on the side.

Over the 4 threads, that come from the left and right, make quadruple
bars; cross the upper threads after the second row of bars, make 2
buttonhole bars with the next thread over the 4th thread, then finish
the 3rd and 4th bar of knots.

[Illustration: FIG. 607. CHINESE KNOT AND DOUBLE CHAIN FOR A RING KNOT.]

To make the olive-shaped group of knots on both sides, take the threads,
that come out from the shells, as cords. Fig. 605 shows the adding on of
the first supplementary thread, fig. 606, that of 12 more which, knotted
on to the first, form with it, the group of bars on the diagonal corner
line. The knots, of which the next large shell is composed, are made
with 2 more supplementary threads and one thread from the preceding
figure. Add on 2 more supplementary threads to the disengaged threads,
which 4 then serve as cords for the groups of bars, left and right.

The 4th group of bars which forms the corner of the fringe, is made on
the 4 threads that come from the large shell, on to which the fourth set
of 12 supplementary threads is knotted.

[Illustration: FIG. 608. RING KNOT FORMED OF A SINGLE CHAIN.]

The pattern ends at the bottom with a half star, and a double bar;
beneath these, large scallops are added, consisting of 2 half stars, 4
ovals, 1 whole star and 2 ovals.

All the threads that come from the groups are then collected at the top
of the scallops and overcast with strong thread, so as to form a thick
round cord along the edges of the scallops, widening towards the point,
as more and more threads are taken in. At the point, these threads are
knotted into a big tassel with another bunch of supplementary threads
added to them. The other small tassels, represented in fig. 604, are
made separately and then fastened on.

The fringe is further ornamented by large knotted tassels, introduced
between the scallops, for which, a large knotted berry, fig. 590, over
21 cords, has first to be made.

Collect the 21 threads all together, to begin with; then make: 2 rows of
knots over 12 threads, 1 over 15, 3 over 21, 1 over 15 and 2 over 12;
then cut the ends of the 21 threads to the same length, and turn them
inwards, to fill up the hollow space inside the berry, stuffing it
besides, if necessary, with wadding to make it perfectly firm and hard
and sewing it togeth
