To work : Loop the thread all round theoutside line of the Maltese cross, so as to mark it wellout, then repeat the outside line, working the secondline over the first, and Darning the two together, asshown in Fig. 634, Detail A. All these various stitchescan be worked, if required, upon the same curtain. Straight Netting.—In this Netting there is neitherIncreasing nor Decreasing; the number of loops thatare required for the width of the work are Netted onto the Foundation Loop, and arc then worked untilthe length required is obtained.
