This edge is another one where the printed instructions and the illustration do not match. The instructions for Border: Cross Netting and Twisted Loops - Pattern #47 is found on page 134 of The Young Ladies' Journal Complete Guide to the Worktable. The instructions for Cross Netting are found on page 126, #7 and #10, (with illustrations on page 124) and instructions for the Twisted Loop are found on page 134, #42, (with the illustration on page 133).
Following the printed instructions the edge looked like this:
Here is how I re-wrote the instructions for myself.
Row 1: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Net 10 loops into the foundation loop.
Row 2: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 3: using 3/8" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 4: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Twist each loop twice before netting into the loop.
Row 5: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 6: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
*Net a wrapped long loop in the next loop, net a short loop in the next loop;* repeat from * to *.
Row 7: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
*Net 1 knot in the next loop, net a long loop in a short loop*; repeat from * to *.
Row 8: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
*Draw the long loop of row 4 up through the long loop of row 3, net a wrapped loop in the loop from row 4, net a short loop in the portion of the next loop that is partially up in the long loop of row 3*; repeat from * to * ending with net a wrapped long loop in the last long loop. This loop will be as long as the other long loops of this row.
Row 9: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop
Row 10: using 3/8" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 11: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Twist each loop twice before netting into the loop.
Row 12: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
When I looked at the illustration for Border: Cross Netting and Twisted Loops - Pattern #47 on page 133 of The Young Ladies' Journal Complete Guide to the Worktable, I could tell immediately it was NOT Crossed Netting in the center of the sample. I thought it was Rose Netting.
The instructions for Rose Netting are found on page 126, #8 and #11, (with illustrations on page 124) and instructions for the Twisted Loop are found on page 134, #42, (with the illustration on page 133).
Here is how I wrote the instructions for myself.
Row 1: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Net 10 loops into the foundation loop.
Row 2: using 3/8" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 3: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Twist each loop twice before netting into the loop.
Row 4: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 5: using 3/8" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 6: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Draw the first loop up through the 2nd loop and net into it. Draw the second loop (the part under and between the legs of the first loop) up through the first loop and net into it. Repeat this process with the next two loops and work across the row.
Row 7: using 3/8" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 8: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Twist each loop twice before netting into the loop.
Row 9: using 1/8" flat mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.
I think the illustration should have been labeled Border: Rose Netting and Twisted Loops.
