I really wanted to do item #36 on page 131 from The Young Ladies' Journal Complete Guide to the Worktable. However, to understand that pattern I had to go back to the Loose Loop Pattern (item #32 on page 127, illustration on page 125). Once again the instructions do not seem to match the illustration.
Here is the sample I made up following the instructions.
Starting number of loops: (multiple of 3)-11
Use a 1/8" mesh stick throughout the instructions.
To Begin:
Net 11 loops into the foundation loop.
Rows 1-2:
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 3:
Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, *bring the netting needle down, around the mesh stick, and then up through the loop above the closest knot to the right in the previous row, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops*; repeat from * to *.
Row 4:
Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, *net together the next 3 loops (including the 2 loose loops), net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops;* repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops.
Row 5:
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 6:
Net 1 knot in the first loop, *bring the netting needle down, around the mesh stick, and then up through the loop above the closest knot to the right in the previous row, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 1 knot in the last loop.
Row 7:
Net 3 loops together (including 2 loose loops), *net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, net 3 loops together (including 2 loose loops);* repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in the last loop.
Row 8:
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 9:
Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, *bring the netting needle down, around the mesh stick, and then up through the loop above the closest knot to the right in the previous row, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops*; repeat from * to *.
Row 10:
Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, *net together the next 3 loops (including the 2 loose loops), net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops;* repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops.
Row 11:
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Here is the sample I made following the illustration. Below I have included my instructions for how to make this version of the pattern.

Row 8:
Net 1 knot in the first loop, *net together the next 3 loops (including the 2 loose loops), net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops;* repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops.
For an easier comparison, here are the two samples side by side.
