Fig. 519. Knotting on threads with round picots.
Knotting on threads with a fringe heading (fig. [520]).—Knot the threads on with a picot heading, as explained in the preceding figure, then cut the picots through and unravel and comb out the threads.
Fig. 520. Knotting on with a fringe heading.
For this way of knotting on threads, a very strongly twisted material is better than a loose one, as when it is cut and untwisted, it makes a much richer and fuller fringe.
Knotting on with picots and flat double knots (fig. [521]). —Take two threads, pin them on close together, make a flat double knot, fig. [516], tying the outer threads over the inner ones, and loop the ends over a cord to make a horizontal bar of knots.
Fig. 521. Knotting on threads with picots and two flat double knots.
Knotting on threads with picots and two flat double knots (figs. [522] and [523]).—Pin the two threads on as before and make two flat double knots, one below the other; detail a shows the first knot begun, detail b the two knots completed. Fig. [523] shows the picots secured by a horizontal bar of knots beneath them.
