A Basic 5-Square, Square-mesh Scallop with 2 Final Scallops


This Basic Scallop uses two scallops to form the right vertical side. It has a border of 19 squares, 3 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 except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (12 loops in the row)
12 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (13 loops in the row)
13 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (14 loops in the row)
14 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (15 loops in the row)
15 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (16 loops in the row)
16 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (17 loops in the row)
17 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (18 loops in the row)
18 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (19 loops in the row)
19 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (20 loops in the row)
20 Net 1 knot in each loop. (20 loops in the row)
21 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop.  (21 loops in the row)
22 Net 1 knot in each loop. (21 loops in the row)
23 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop.  (22 loops in the row)
24 Net 1 knot in each loop. (22 loops in the row)
25 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop.  (23 loops in the row)
26 Net 1 knot in each loop. (23 loops in the row)
27 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop.  (24 loops in the row)
28 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together. (23 loops in the row)
29 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. (24 knots, 23 loops in the row)
30 Net 1 knot in each loop for 20 loops (do NOT net in any more loops for this row), turn the netting and prepare to start the next row, leaving the other 3 loops to form one side of the Vandyke.   (20 loops in the row)

Repeating Vandyke
21-30 Repeat instructions to create new Vandyke.

2. Net 1 knot in each loop. (19 loops in the row)
3. Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together.  (18 loops in the row)

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.
