One needle serves as the tail of cord that is necessary in circular/tubular netting.<br /> I netted a tube 11 meshes (10 meshes plus the drop knot) wide and 7 meshes deep.<br />I next tied into six meshes (leaving 4 untied) and tied a second row into these six. For the third row I tied into the first 2 meshes using the 3" wide gauge. Tied 2 meshes using a 1 1/2" wide gauge and the last 2 meshes using the 3" gauge.<br />There is now a flat panel of netting with the needle that served as the tail on the left side and the working needle on the right.<br />Using the 3" gauge I made 5 rows (2 meshes wide) on either side, and then tied into the corresponding meshes that were left untied when you started the flat netting. Going back and forth between the body of netting and the strap.<br />Any of these measurements can be changed to fit your needs. This one will fit me (size large) and a light winter jacket.
