Stripe for Shawls from The Young Ladies' Journal Complete Guide to the Worktable


The instructions for Pattern #43 on page 134 of The Young Ladies' Journal Complete Guide to the Worktable, Stripe for Shawls, were simple. 


I was glad for the illustration, though, since it showed that on both rows 4 and 6 the double-thread loops were to be treated as one loop instead of two loops. 

That is one clarification I made when I wrote the instructions for myself.  Two other changes I made were to make the edge sample in size 20 crochet thread rather than yarn and to change the size of the mesh sticks thereby adjusting to the size of the thread.


Fill two netting needles - one with single thread and one with double thread


Row 1:  #3 knitting needle, netting needle filled with single thread
     Net 12 knots into the foundation loop.

Row 2:  #3 knitting needle, netting needle filled with single thread
     Net 1 knot in each loop.

Row 3:  1/4" flat mesh stick, netting needle filled with double thread
     Net 1 knot in each loop:

Row 4:  #3 knitting needle, netting needle filled with single thread
     With one knot, net together the two threads from each double-thread loop.

Row 5:  1/4" flat mesh stick, netting needle filled with double thread
     Net 1 knot into each loop.

Row 6:  #3 knitting needle, netting needle filled with single thread
     With one knot, net together the two threads from each double-thread loop.

Row 7:  #3 knitting needle, netting needle filled with single thread
     Net 1 knot in each loop.
