This net lace edging, Another Lace is found on page 93 of The Lady's Manual of Fancy-Work: a complete instructor in every variety of ornamental needle-work by Mrs. Matilda Marian Pullan. It uses a netting needle filled with a double thread as well as a a netting needle filed with a single strand of thread. I did not "Conclude by taking some of the silk four times doubled and working one stitch between every two of last row, with a somewhat coarser mesh". I thought the 8 strands of thread looked too heavy for a final row.
Here are my instructions without the final row.
Row 1: Use #0 knitting needle and a single-thread shuttle
Net 9 more knots in the foundation loop.
Rows 2-3: Use #0 knitting needle and a single-thread shuttle
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 4: Use 1/2" mesh stick and a double-thread shuttle
Net 3 knots in the first loop, *skip 1 stitch, net 3 knots*; repeat from * to *.
Row 5: Use #0 knitting needle and a single-thread shuttle
Net 1 knot in each thread of the first 2 double-thread loops, making 4 loops, treat the next double-thread loop as one loop and net 1 knot in that double -thread loop, *net 1 knot in each thread of the next 2 double-thread loops, making 4 loops, treat the next double-thread loop as one loop and net 1 knot i that double-thread loop*; repeat from * to *.
Row 6: Use #0 knitting needle and a single-thread shuttle
Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 7: Use #0 knitting needle and a single-thread shuttle
Net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops, *skip a loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops*; ending with net the last 2 loops together.
Row 8: Use #0 knitting needle and a single-thread shuttle
Net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, *skip a loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops*; ending with net the last 2 loops together.
Row 9: Use #0 knitting needle and a single-thread shuttle
Without a mesh stick, net 1 knot in the first loop, net 1 knot in the next loop, *skip a loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops*; ending with net the last 2 loops together.
