A Basic 7-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 26 squares, 4 points along each side of a scallop, and 7 squares across the bottom of the scallop.





The instructions for this scallop are as follows:

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.
