Border of the Rose Antimacassar from Treasures in Needlework


The border for the square-mesh antimacassar that appears on pages 300-301 of Treasures in Needlework is net around the outer edge of the netting into each single loop that lies flat against the two squares it spans.




My directions

Rows 2-3: Net 1 knot in each loop.

Row 4: (3/4-inch mesh)  Net 3 knots in the first loop, *net 1 knot in the next loop, net 5 knots in the following loop*; repeat from * to * ending with net 4 knots in the last loop.

Row 6: (#4 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, skip the next loop, *net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops, skip the next loop*; repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops.
