A Basic 5-Square, Square-mesh Scallop Edge with 1 Final Scallop


This Basic Scallop uses just one scallop to form the right vertical side. It has a border of 10 squares, 4 points along each side of a scallop, and 5 squares across the bottom of the scallop.





The instructions for this scallop are as follows:

First Vandyke Scallop with straight vertical side                                                        
1              Net 2 knots in the foundation loop (2 loops in the row)
2              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (3 loops in the row)
3              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (4 loops in the row)
4              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (5 loops in the row)
5              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (6 loops in the row)
6              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (7 loops in the row)
7              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (8 loops in the row)
8              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (9 loops in the row)
9              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (10 loops in the row)
10           Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (11 loops in the row)
11           Net 1 knot in each loop. (11 loops in the row)
12           Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (12 loops in the row)
13           Net 1 knot in each loop. (12 loops in the row)
14           Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (13 loops in the row)
15           Net 1 knot in each loop. (13 loops in the row)
16           Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (14 loops in the row)
17           Net 1 knot in each loop. (14 loops in the row)
18           Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (15 loops in the row)
19           Net 1 knot in each loop. (15 loops in the row)
20           Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (16 loops in the row)
21           Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together. (15 loops in the row)
22           Without a mesh stick, net 1 knot in the first loop, now with a mesh stick, net 1 knot in each loop, except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (16 knots, 15 loops in the row)
23           Net 1 knot in each loop for 11 loops (do NOT net in any more loops for this row), turn the netting and prepare to start the next row, leaving the other 4 loops to form one side of the Vandyke.   (11 loops in the row)
Repeating Vandyke
12-24     Repeat instructions to create new Vandyke.
Final Vandyke
1              Net 1 knot in each loop. (11 loops in the row)
2              Net 1 knot in each loop. (11 loops in the row)
3              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together. (10 loops in the row)
4              Net 1 knot in each loop. (10 loops in the row)
5              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together. (9 loops in the row)
6              Net 1 knot in each loop. (9 loops in the row)
7              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together. (8 loops in the row)
8              Net 1 knot in each loop. (8 loops in the row)
9              Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together.  (7 loops in row)
10           Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together.  (6 loops in row)
11           Without a mesh stick net 1 knot in the first loop, now with a mesh stick net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together. (4 loops and 5 knots) 
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.
