Today's sample is much bigger than week's edge. This Vandyke has 12 squares in the border, 7 points along the inner Vandykes, and 8 points along the outer side of the first and last Vandykes. This Vandyked Square Netting edge came from page 91 of The lady's manual of fancy-work: a complete instructor in every variety of ornamental needle-work, by Mrs. Matilda Marian Pullan, (published in 1858).

Forming the first square of the netting
1. Remove the foundation loop from row 1 of the netting.
2. Tie the tail onto a tapestry needle, which is used in place of the netting needle.
3. Place the foundation-loop cord through another row of meshes.
4. Tie the foundation-loop cord into a circle and attach it to a tension device.
5. Net the first two loops together without using a mesh stick.

Rows in the Repeating Vandyke
Double the number of inner points (for this example: 2 times 7 = 14).
Rows in the last Vandyke
Subtract 1 from the number of rows in the repeating Vandyke (for this example: 14-1=13).
To find how many final Vandykes are needed:
If the number of squares in the border is less than or equal to the number of rows in the repeating Vandyke, there is only 1 final Vandyke (For this example: number of squares in the border is 12 and number rows in the repeating Vandyke is 14. We will need final 1 Vandyke.).
To determine which of the 4 types of instructions to use for the final Vandykes:
Subtract the number of squares in the border from 2 times the number of inner points.
The resulting number will be 0, 1, an even number greater than 0, or an odd number greater than 1 (for this example (2*7)-12 = 2).
Generic instructions for the final Vandyke
If your resulting number (the number of rows to the corner) is an even number greater than 0:
X = the number of rows to the
corner, divide by 2
IP= the number of points on one
side of an inner Vandyke
·
Net X pair(s) of
Increase & Plain rows,
·
(IP - X - 1) pair(s) of
Decrease & Plain rows,
1 Decrease row
