1st row—knot on the threads, as in fig. [520], in the following order: 4 double blue threads, 3 single dark brown, 1 double light brown, 3 single dark brown; then again 4 double blue, and so on.
2nd row—divide the threads into groups, so that the brown threads come in the middle with 4 blue ones on either side. Begin on the left = cover the 4th blue thread, which comes nearest to the first brown one, with flat double knots, made over the 1st, 2nd and 3rd brown thread and the light brown one = cover the 3rd blue thread with the 4 brown threads and the 4th blue, which served as the cord in the 1st row of knots = cover the 2nd blue thread with the 4 brown and the 4th and 3rd blue = cover the 1st blue with the 4 brown and the 4th, 3rd and 2nd blue.
Fig. 561. Working detail of fig. [560]
In the working detail, fig. [561], the dark lines represent the blue threads, the light ones, the brown.
When the quadruple bar, slanting from left to right, is finished, make a similar one, from right to left, then connect the 1st and 16th thread by a double knot and pass the first blue thread on the left over to the right group.
2nd row—make similar groups, reversed, so that the brown knots come next to the last blue ones and the blue knots again terminate the groups of bars; the brown threads will be stretched flat between the preceding group and the next.
3rd and 5th row—like the first.
4th row—like the 2nd.
After the 5th row of groups, take 4 brown threads on either side of the blue knots, and make them into a double chain, fig. [546], consisting of 12 knots, and make 6 flat double knots with the last threads.
