This Basic Scallop uses two scallops to form the right vertical side. It has a border of 8 squares, 3 points along each side of a scallop, and 3 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 1 knot in
each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (3 loops in
the row)
3.
Net 1 knot in
each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (4 loops in
the row)
4.
Net 1 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 except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (6 loops in
the row)
6.
Net 1 knot in
each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (7 loops in
the row)
7.
Net 1 knot in
each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (8 loops in
the row)
8.
Net 1 knot in
each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (9 loops in
the row)
9.
Net 1 knot in
each loop. (9 loops in the row)
10.
Net 1
knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (10 loops in the row)
11.
Net 1 knot in
each loop. (10 loops in the row)
12.
Net 1
knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (11 loops in the row)
13.
Net 1 knot in
each loop. (11 loops in the row)
14.
Net 1
knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (12 loops in the row)
15.
Net 1 knot in
each loop. (12 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. (12 knots, 13 loops in the
row)
17.
Net 1
knot in each loop for 9 loops (do NOT net in any more loops for this row), turn
the netting and prepare to start the next row, leaving the other 3 loops to
form one side of the Vandyke. (9 loops in the row)
Repeating Vandyke
10-17 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. (10 loops in the row)
2.
Net 1 knot in
each loop. (10 loops in the row)
3.
Net 1
knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (11 loops in the row)
4.
Net 1 knot in each
loop. (11 loops in the row)
5.
Net 1
knot in each loop except for the last loop, net 2 knots in the last loop. (12 loops in the row)
6.
Net 1 knot in
each loop. (12 loops in the row)
7.
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. (12 knots, 11 loops in the
row)
8.
Net 1
knot in each loop for 8 loops (do NOT net in any more loops for this row), turn
the netting and prepare to start the next row, leaving the other 3 loops to
form one side of the Vandyke. (8 loops in the row)
9.
Net 1 knot in
each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together. (7 loops in row)
10.
Net 1 knot in
each loop. (7 loops in the
row)
11.
Net 1 knot in
each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together. (6 loops in row)
12.
Net 1 knot in
each loop. (6 loops in the
row)
13.
Net 1 knot in
each loop except for the last 2 loops, net those 2 loops together. (5 loops in row)
14.
Net 1 knot in
each loop. (5 loops in the
row)
15.
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.
