Netted Tab (as an edge) from Tatting and Netting

I liked the way the Netted Tab looked on page 146 of Tatting and Netting or page 149 of this version of the book.  I decided to see if I could use the instructions to create an edge. The problem arose when I tried to match the instructions with the photo.  They were not the same. I decided to make both versions.  Here is how I interpreted the instructions. I adapted the pattern for rows instead of curved around the bottom of the tab.

Make a net chain of 24 knots (12 loops) over a 1/8" flat mesh stick.  Place the loops on one side of the chain on a foundation loop.

Row 1: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/8" flat mesh stick.

Row 2: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 5/8" flat mesh stick.

Row 3: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/8" flat mesh stick.

Row 4: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/4" flat mesh stick.

Row 5: Net 2 loops together across the row over a 1/4" flat mesh stick.

Row 6: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/4" flat mesh stick.

Row 7: Net bunches of loops (as described on page 85 of Tatting and Netting) in each loop over a 1/4" flat mesh stick.

Row 8: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/4" flat mesh stick.

Form the long loops in row 2 into Sheaves using the instructions on page 112 of Tatting and Netting.

This is how the netting looked following the instructions.

Here are my instructions for the way the photo looked (without the net embroidery).

Row 1: Net 12 loops into the foundation loop over a 1/8" flat mesh stick.  

Rows 2-4: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/8" flat mesh stick.

Row 5: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 5/8" flat mesh stick.

Rows 6-8: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/8" flat mesh stick.

Row 9: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/4" flat mesh stick.

Row 10: Net 2 loops together across the row over a 1/4" flat mesh stick.

Row 11: Net bunches of loops (as described on page 85 of Tatting and Netting) in each loop over a 1/4" flat mesh stick.

Row 12: Net 1 knot in each loop over a 1/4" flat mesh stick.

Form the long loops in row 5 into Sheaves using the instructions on page 112 of Tatting and Netting.

This is how the netting looked following the photo.

Do you like one edge better than the other?  I think I like the second one better.
