2nd row—beginning in the middle, make 2 flat double knots with 8 blue threads; with the 4 blue threads on the left, make a quadruple group of bars over the 4 blue threads on the right. These quadruple groups of bars, called «shell bars» are illustrated in detail in fig. [567]. Unite the blue threads at the sides by flat double knots.

Fig. 568. Openwork part of fig. [566].
The beginning and continuation of the openwork parts of the pattern are explained in fig. [568].
The threads that issue from the last group of knots are used for making the second shell bar, the two inner bars of which are made in écru cotton, and the two outer in blue. When this striped shell bar is finished, the blue threads are again united for the openwork figure.
