Fig. 577. Openwork part of fig. [574].
Fill the empty spaces under the outside shell knots, with 9 flat double knots; under the middle knot make bars of inter-crossed knots, of which a clear explanation will be found in fig. [577].
To join two borders of the kind together, pass the thread of the second border over the thread on which the bar in the middle of the outer scallop is knotted.

The threads must be taken double, counting as one. Knot them on, as in fig. [524]. This exceedingly effective pattern is a very simple one to work and can easily be copied from the engraving by following, for the bars, figs. [537] to [544]; for the collecting knots fig. [530], for the large shell knots figs. [575] and [576], and for the chain of flat double knots, fig. [536] detail a.
The tassels that complete the fringe must depend from the last collecting knot and hang between the triple bars of knots and beneath the collecting knot.
