Learn to Net through Videos

Netting is easier to learn with someone sitting near you, able to guide you through the learning process. However, because I can't physically sit next to you, I created videos to show you how to net. It's the next best thing to having a teacher by your side.

Since I have recently moved the netting videos from Rita’s Netting Nook to YouTube, the links to the videos are listed below.

Square-mesh netting - a variety of shapes


Every so often I realize that it's becoming difficult to find instructions to specific netting patterns. This week I realized that this was the case with the different shapes of square-mesh netting. So I've made a list of the shapes and included a link to where information, instructions, and images can be found. 

Square-mesh netting is often thought of as a square or rectangle. As such, it can be made with:





In addition to squares and rectangles, square-mesh netting can also form a

One Pointed End on a Rectangle of Square-mesh Netting






Last summer I was working on square-mesh triangles. As I was checking the triangle patterns, I realized that I had never combined a rectangle with a triangle. 

I discovered that if the width of the rectangle is odd, the triangle will have a single point. (If the width is of the rectangle is even, there will be two squares at the point, but that's a post for another day.)

By the time I finished the netting, I ran out of time to post them, so here they are, a year late. 








Instructions for: 

Rectangle of Square-mesh Netting – From One Corner with One Pointed End

Odd width 9 squares, Even length 18 squares, 5 points along pointed sides


Form the Rectangle Width
Row 1:  Net 2 knots in the foundation loop. (2 loops in the row)
Remove the mesh stick and turn the work so that the next row can be worked from left to right. (This will be done at the end of each row.)
Row 2:  Net 1 knot in the first loop on the left; increase by netting 2 knots in the second loop. (3 loops in the row)
Row 3:  Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in that last loop. (4 loops in the row)
Row 4:  Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in that last loop. (5 loops in the row)
Row 5:  Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in that last loop. (6 loops in the row)
Row 6:  Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in that last loop. (7 loops in the row)
Row 7:  Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in that last loop. (8 loops in the row)
Row 8:  Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in that last loop. (9 loops in the row)
Row 9: Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in that last loop. (10 loops in the row) 
Row 10:  Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in that last loop. (11 loops in the row)
Lengthen the Rectangle
Row 11: (Decrease Row Net 1 knot in each loop until you come to the last 2 loops; net the last 2 loops together. (10 loops in the row)

Row 12: (Increase row): Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in the last loop. (11 loops in the row)
  Row 13: (Decrease Row Net 1 knot in each loop until you come to the last 2 loops; net the last 2 loops together. (10 loops in the row)

Row 14: (Increase row): Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in the last loop. (11 loops in the row)
Row 15: (Decrease Row Net 1 knot in each loop until you come to the last 2 loops; net the last 2 loops together. (10 loops in the row)

Row 16: (Increase row): Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in the last loop. (11 loops in the row)
Row 17 (Decrease Row): Net 1 knot in each loop until you come to the last 2 loops; net the last 2 loops together. (10 loops in the row)

Row 18: (Increase row): Net 1 knot in each loop except the last loop; net 2 knots in the last loop. (11 loops in the row)
Row 19: (Decrease Row): Net 1 knot in each loop until you come to the last 2 loops; net the last 2 loops together. (10 loops in the row)


Finish the Rectangle with a Lacy Point
Row 20: (Plain row): Net 1 knot in each loop. (9 loops in the row)

Row 21: (Decrease Row): Net 1 knot in each loop until you come to the last 2 loops; net the last 2 loops together. (8 loops in the row)

Row 22: (Plain row): Net 1 knot in each loop. 8 loops in the row)

Row 23: (Decrease Row): Net 1 knot in each loop until you come to the last 2 loops; net the last 2 loops together. (7 loops in the row)

Row 24: (Plain row): Net 1 knot in each loop. (7 loops in the row)

Row 25: (Decrease Row): Net 1 knot in each loop until you come to the last 2 loops; net the last 2 loops together. (6 loops in the row)

Row 26: (Plain row): Net 1 knot in each loop. (6 loops in the row)

Row 27: (Decrease Row): Net 1 knot in each loop until you come to the last 2 loops; net the last 2 loops together. (5 loops in the row)

Fancy Scallop Edge


Was it possible for different scallops to be included along the same edge?

I decided to try several different one and see how it looked.

Here is what I created.


If I were to make it again, I would make the number of points close to the number of squares across the bottom, probably just a few less. I prefer the scallop with 5 points and squares along the scallop.

Instructions for this fancy scallop edge:

Size of Scallop

7 squares along the scallop
