In the middle of two opposing groups of bars, make a flat double knot with 2 of the right threads and 2 of the left.
When the second horizontal bar is finished, turn the work round, and go on working on the wrong side, making plain double knots, as in fig. [571], turned in one row, all from right to left, and in the next, from left to right.
When you have worked 10 such rows of knots, begin to make one knot less on either side of a group, so as to form pointed scallops of knots which you finish off with a plain bar.

Working detail of fig. [569].
Tassels are then made with the threads that issue from each scallop, and when these are sewn up, turn the work round to the right side, where the knots, made on the wrong side, will present the appearance indicated in fig. [572].
