Border of Mat from Treasures in Needlework
Pages186-187 of Treasures in Needlework include a mat or doily that, besides the basic netting, includes embroidery or lacis. The edge of the circular mat has a pointed edge. I took the points and did them in rows instead of rounds.
My directions for the border
Row 1: (#2 knitting needle) Net 29 loops in the foundation loop. [multiple of 10 minus 1]
Rows 2-3: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop.
Point:
Row 4: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop for 9 loops.
Row 5: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop for 8 loops.
Row 6: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop for 7 loops.
Row 7: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop for 6 loops.
Row 8: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops.
Row 9: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops.
Row 10: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops.
Row 11: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops.
Row 12: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop for 1 loops.
Cut the thread to the netting needle. Fasten the end of the thread onto the next loop in row 3 and repeat from row 4 to row 12
