Border of Design for Darned Netting from The Young Ladies' Journal Complete Guide to the Worktable


This Border was from #50 on page 135 of The Young Ladies' Journal Complete Guide to the Worktable. The illustration is found on page 136 of the same book. It was meant to frame a piece of darned netting.




Here is my diamond mesh version of the instructions.  This stitch pattern needs to start with an even number of loops.

Using a 00 knitting needle as a mesh stick and before starting the border, net 12 loops in the foundation loop. Then net 1 row of 1 knot in each loop.

Row 1:  using  1/4" flat mesh stick
     Net 2 knots in each loop.

Row 2:  using #00 knitting needle
     Net 2 loops together.

Row 3: using #00 knitting needle
     Net 1 knot in each loop

Row 4:  using 1/4" flat mesh stick
     Skip a loop, net 6 knots in the next loop, *skip a loop, net 1 knot in the next loop, skip a loop, net 6 knots in the following loop*; repeat from * to * ending with

skip a loop, net 1 knot in the last loop.

Row 5: using 1/4" flat mesh stick
     Net 1 knot in each loop.

Row 6:  using #00 knitting needle
     Twist each loop twice before netting 1 knot in the loop.
