Border of Netted Mitten from Treasures in Needlework


On pages 46 and 47 of Treasures in Needlework are the instructions for a pair of lacy net fingerless mittens.  I took the directions for the border or edge of the mittens and reproduced the edge.  There were a few changes made to have the edge work out.



Here are my directions for the Border and Edging shown above:

Row 1: (000 or 5/0 knitting needle)
          Net 18 knots in the foundation loop. [multiple of 5 +3 - ie 8, 13, 18, 23, etc.]
Rows 2-3: (000 or 5/0 knitting needle)
          Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 4: (000 or 5/0 knitting needle)
          Net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, * 5 in the 1st loop, 5 in the 2nd; net 3 loops plain; repeat from * all round.
Row 5: (000 or 5/0 knitting needle)
          Net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, *net 9 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops; repeat all round
Rows 6-7: (000 or 5/0 knitting needle)
          Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 8: (#3 knitting needle)
          Net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, * 5 in the 1st loop, 5 in the 2nd; net 3 loops plain; repeat from * all round.

          Net 1 knot in each loop for 3  loops, *net 9 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops; repeat all round

          Net 1 knot in each loop.
Row 11: (#3 knitting needle)
          Skip 3 loops, *net 10 knots in the next loop, skip 4 loops*; repeat from * to * ending with skip 3 loops and net 1 knot in the last loop.
