These picots are always made on both sides and can be repeated several times along a row of knots. Detail a shows the crossing of the threads for the picots, detail b the picots completed and followed by a flat knot.
Bead knots (fig. [536]).—A bead knot is made by turning back the threads after a row of flat double knots. Detail a shows three flat double knots finished, detail b the inner threads turned back over the flat double knots, detail c the two knotting threads, brought between the two threads coming from the left to the right, and detail d the bead knot finished and followed by a flat double knot.
Bars of knots to the right and left (figs. [537], [538], [539], [540], [541], [542], [543], [544]).—After knotting on the requisite number of threads on to a double cord, make two button-hole loops with the right thread round the left one, fig. [537], then knot each thread twice over the second cord, fig. [538]. These knots must be as close together as possible. This done, begin to make the slanting bars, inclining from left to right, with 4 threads.
