As I attempted to understand the instructions for this edge, I found a source for diamond graph paper - http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/diamond/. I found it helpful to draft the design from the instructions before attempting to net it, since I found the directions hard to visualize, even with the illustration..
Here is Border with Double Loose Loops (page 131, item #36) from The Young Ladies' Journal Complete Guide to the Worktable.
I did add row 12 to fasten down the loose loops made in row 11. If I were to make them again, I would add one more loop in the beginning row. That would make the final row come out correctly. Below are the directions I wrote as I attempted to understand and follow what was printed.
Loose Loops Stitch:
Bring the netting needle down across the front of the mesh stick, around the mesh stick, and then up through the loop above the closest knot to the right in the previous row
To Begin: Net 19 loops into the foundation loop over a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick.
Rows 1-2: Using a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 3: Using a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops, create Loose Loops Stitch, net 1 knot in each loop for 8 loops*; repeat
from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops.
Row 4: Using a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, *create Loose Loops Stitch, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, net 3 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 7 loops, net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops*; repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in the last loop.
Row 5: Using a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick
Net 3 loops together, *net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, create Loose Loops Stitch, Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, create Loose Loops Stitch, net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, net 3 loops together*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops.
Row 6: Using a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops, *net 3 loops together, net 1 knot in the next loop, net 3 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops*; repeat form * to * eding with net 1 kot in each loop for 4 loops.
Row 7: Using a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, create Loose Loops Stitch, *net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops, create Loose Loops Stitch*; repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops.
Row 8: Using a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, *net 3 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops*; repeat from * to *.
Row 9: Using a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick
*Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, create Loose Loops Stitch, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, create Loose Loops Stitch, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, create Loose Loops Stitch*; repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops.
Row 10: Using a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick
*Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, net 3 loops together*, repeat from * to * 2 more times, net 1 knot in the next loop, net 3 loops together, repeat from * to * 2 times, net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops.
Row 11: Using a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in the first loop, create Loose Loops Stitch, *net 1 knot in each loop for 8 loops, create Loose Loops Stitch; repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops.
Row 12: Using a #8 knitting needle or 1/4" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in the first loop, net 3 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 7 loops, net 3 loops together, net 1 knot in the last loop.
Row 13: Using a 1/2" flat mesh stick
Net 3 knots in each loop
Row 14: Using a #0 knitting needle
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 15: Using a 1/2" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 16: Using a 1/2" flat mesh stick
Without the mesh stick net 6 loops together, now with the mesh stick, net 6 loops together across the row.
