After ht with 1st and 2dpairs, put pin in 1, between 1st and 2d pairs, and close with ht,using same pairs. Putting aside 1st, ht with 2d and 3d pairs, andso continue to the right, putting pin in 2, between 6th and 7thpairs, after ht with these. Continue until the work is as long asdesired. In working a straight pattern like this, it is well to have 10or 12 pins on each side before beginning to take out the firstones. There are many varieties of open net or hole these the plain hole ground (pattern, fig. 4) is frequently.
