After theplain Vandyke Edging has been Netted, a pattern should beDarned upon it in Darned Netting. To work as shownin Fig. 640: Make one loop upon the Foundation Loop,Net in Plain Netting two Loops into this first loop, andIncrease one Loop in each row until there are five Loopsin a row. Then Increase at the end of every alternate row,until there ai*e nine Loops in the row, taking particularcare that the Increase is always made upon the same sideof the work. In the next row, leave unworked four Loopson the side which has not been Increased, and thus formthe Vandyke; work the other five (the dotted line in theillustration shows this row), continue the work, and In-crease in every alternate row until there are nine Loopsagain, and then miss the four upon the Vandyked edge Fig. 640.

The Loop is used in Plain Netting; but this canbe varied and rendered more ornamental if worked as ex-plained in Fly Netting. To work : Commence with oneLoop upon the Foundation Loop, and Increase everyrow by working two Loops into the last Loop. Continueto do this until the widest part of the Netting is as long asthe widest part of the Fichu, and then commence to worka border. For this, two different sized Meshes are re-quired, one round, -gin. in diameter, and one flat, \vt\. the fir
