I started following the instructions for Trimming, with Thick Loops and Fan Edge - Item #31 on page 127 from The Young Ladies' Journal Complete Guide to the Worktable. As I finished row 5 I realized that the instructions did not match the photo on page 125. I made the choice to follow the instructions and continued making the sample until I reached row 9. At that point the numbers did not work and the pattern did not center properly. To fix that I added one row of plain netting (row 9).
Since I made some changes in the instructions, I thought I had better include my instructions.
To Begin, using #4 knitting needle for a mesh stick
Net 11 loops onto the foundation loop.
Rows 1-2: #4 knitting needle for a mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 3: #4 knitting needle for a mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, *net 4 knots in the next loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops*; repeat from * to *.
Row 4: #4 knitting needle for a mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, *net 3 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops*; repeat from * to *.
Row 5: #4 knitting needle for a mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 6: #4 knitting needle for a mesh stick
Net 4 knots in the first loop, *net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, net 4 knots in the next loop*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 1 knot in the last loop.
Row 7: #4 knitting needle for a mesh stick
Net 1 knot in the first loop, net 3 loops together, *net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops, net 3 loops together*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 1 knot in the last loop.
Row 8: #4 knitting needle for a mesh stick
Net 2 loops together, *net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, net 2 loops together*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 1 knot in the last loop.
Row 9: #4 knitting needle for a mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 10: 1/2" mesh stick
Net 5 knots in the first loop, *skip 3 loops, net 5 knots in the next loop*; repeat from * to *.
Row 11: #4 knitting needle for a mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops, *take the next loop, pass it up through the center of the three loops skipped in the previous row, net 1 knot in that loop (make the loop a long loop with the
knot near the bottom of the the loop from the previous row).
Here are the instructions for the illustration. I'm grateful my husband was willing to spend a couple hours working with me to create these instructions. I could never have done it that quickly, if ever, on my own. He figured out the math so the instructions would worked out properly. You don't want to see the one I did on my own.
To Begin, using #4 knitting needle for a mesh stick
Net 14 loops onto the foundation loop. [number of loops = (a multiple of 8)-2]

Net 2 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops; repeat across the row.

Then, because I liked the way the illustration looked, I decided to make a sample of the illustration of the trimming.
Here are the instructions for the illustration. I'm grateful my husband was willing to spend a couple hours working with me to create these instructions. I could never have done it that quickly, if ever, on my own. He figured out the math so the instructions would worked out properly. You don't want to see the one I did on my own.
