Netted Lappet for Caps, etc. from Tatting and Netting



I decided to use the instructions for the Netted Lappet for an edge. It is found on pages 146-147 of Tatting and Netting or page 149 of this version of the book. The written instructions did not match the drawing, so I decided to make both versions. Here is how I interpreted the instructions. I adapted the pattern for rows instead of curved around the bottom of the tab.

Row 1: Net an even number of loops (not a multiple of 4) in the foundation loop over a #3 knitting needle or a 1/8" mesh stick.  The sample has 10 loops.

Rows 2-3: Net 1 knot in each loop over the same mesh stick used in row 1.

Row 4: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/4" mesh stick.

Row 5: Net 2 loops together across the row over a 1/4" flat mesh stick.

Rows 6-7: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/4" mesh stick

Row 8: Net 6 knots in the first loop, *net 1 knot in the next loop, net 6 knots in the following loop*; repeat from * to * over a 1/4" mesh stick.

Row 9: Net 1 knot in each loop over a #1 knitting needle.









This is how the netting looked following the instructions.










Here are my instructions for the way the photo looked (without the net embroidery).

Row 1: Net an even number of loops (not a multiple of 4) in the foundation loop over a #3 knitting needle or 1/8" mesh stick.  The sample has 10 loops.

Rows 2-3: Net 1 knot in each loop over the same mesh stick used in row 1.

Row 4: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/4" mesh stick.

Row 5: Net 2 loops together across the row over a 1/4" flat mesh stick.

Row 6: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/4" mesh stick

Row 7: Net 6 knots in the first loop, *net 1 knot in the next loop, net 6 knots in the following loop*; repeat from * to * over a 1/4" mesh stick.

Row 8-9: Net 1 knot in each loop over a #1 knitting needle.






This is how the netting looked following the photo.
