Another Pointed Edge from The Lady's Manual of Fancy-Work

Another Pointed Edge, included by Mrs. Matilda Marian Pullan on page 92 of The Lady's Manual of Fancy-Work: a complete instructor in every variety of ornamental needle-work, describes how to create a diamond-mesh pointed edge. Her instructions for this edge were clear to understand, even without an illustration. I used a #3 knitting needle for all the netting.  This edge uses a multiple of 9 loops, minus 1 (for example: 26, 35, 44, 53)

Here is how I worded the instructions for this edge.

Row 1: Net 26 more knots in the foundtion loop. (26 loops)

Rows 2-3: Net 1 knot in each loop (26 loops)

Row 4: Net 1 knot in each loop for 8 loops. Turn the netting (8 loops in the short row)

Row 5: Working on the loops just formed, net 1 knot in each loop for 7 loops.

Row 6: Working on the loops just formed, net 1 knot in each loop for 6 loops.

Row 7: Working on the loops just formed, net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops.

Row 8: Working on the loops just formed, net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops.

Row 9: Working on the loops just formed, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops.

Row 10: Working on the loops just formed, net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops.

Row 11: Working on the loop just formed, net 1 knot in each loop for 1 loop. Cut the thread, leaving a short tail.

Row 12: Join the thread from the netting shuttle to the next available loop on row 3 and net 1 knot in each loop for 8 loops. (8 loops in the short row)

Repeat rows 5-12 across the netting
