This Basic Scallop uses just one scallop to form the right vertical side. It has a border of 4 squares, 3 points along each side of a scallop, and 7 squares across the bottom of the scallop.
The instructions for this scallop are as follows:
First
Vandyke Scallop with straight vertical side
1 Net 2 knots in the foundation loop. (2 loops in the
row)
2 Net one knot in each loop except for the last loop, net
2 knots in the last loop. (3 loops in the row)
3 Net one knot in each loop except for the last loop, net
knots in the last loop. (4 loops in the row)
4 Net one knot in each loop except for the last loop, net
2 knots in the last loop. (5 loops in the row)
5 Net 1 knot in each loop. (5 loops in the row)
6 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2
knots in the last loop. (6 loops in the row)
7 Net 1 knot in each loop. (6 loops in the row)
8 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2
knots in the last loop. (7 loops in the row)
9 Net 1 knot in each loop. (7 loops in the row)
10 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2
knots in the last loop. (8 loops in the row)
11 Net 1 knot in each loop. (8 loops in the row)
12 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2
knots in the last loop. (9 loops in the row)
13 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net
those 2 loops together. (8 loops in the row)
14 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2
knots in the last loop. (9 loops in the row)
15 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net
those 2 loops together. (8 loops in the row)
16 Without
a mesh stick, net 1 knot in the first loop, now with a mesh stick net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots
in the last loop. (9 knots, 8 loops in the
row)
17 Net
1 knot in each loop for 5 loops, do NOT net in any more loops for this row.
Turn the netting and begin the next row. (5 loops in the row)
Repeating Vandyke
6-17 Repeat instructions to create new
Vandyke.
Final Vandyke
1 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2
knots in the last loop. (6 loops in the row)
2 Net 1 knot in each loop. (6 loops in the row)
3 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2
knots in the last loop. (7 loops in the row)
4 Net 1 knot in each loop. (7 loops in the row)
5 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2
knots in the last loop. (8 loops in the row)
6 Net 1 knot in each loop. (8 loops in the row)
7 Net 1 knot in each loop. (8 loops in the row)
8 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops,
net those 2 loops together. (7 loops in
the row)
9 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops,
net those 2 loops together. (6 loops in
the row)
10 Net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net
those 2 loops together. (5 loops in the
row)
11 Without
a mesh stick net 1 knot in the first loop, now with a mesh stick net 1 knot in each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those
2 loops together. (3 loops and 4 knots)
Forming the first square of the netting
- Remove
the foundation loop from row 1 of the netting.
- Tie the
tail onto a tapestry needle, which is used in place of the netting needle.
- Place
the foundation-loop cord through another row of meshes.
- Tie the foundation-loop cord into a circle and attach it to a tension device.
- Net the first two loops together without using a mesh stick.
