Fig. 585. Macramé fringe.
Materials: Coton à tricoter D.M.C Nos. 6 to 16, Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C Nos. 8 to 20, or Fil à dentelle D.M.C Nos. 25 to 50.[A]
Colours: Brun-Cuir 325 and Brun-Marron 403, 405, 407.[A]
This pattern is so easy that we refer our readers to figs. [544] and [561] for the working of it, merely remarking, that the bars are made alternately from right to left, and from left to right, and that 3 threads are knotted over the cord that runs from the left and 4, over the one from the right.
This fringe will always be found most effective in appearance if it be made in four shades of one colour, knotted on in succession.
Macramé fringe or ground (figs. [586] and [587]).—Entire length of the threads for No. 8 of Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C: 150 c/m.
Fig. 586. Macramé fringe.
Materials: The same as for fig. [585].
Colours: Gris-Tilleul 331 and Violet-Mauve 315 or, Bleu cendré 448 and Rouge-Cornouille 450, Bleu-Canard 3309 and Rouge-Maroquin 3328, etc.
This effective pattern is not difficult, save in appearance, so that it is unnecessary to describe it in detail; for the knotting on, see fig. [525]; for the plain bars, figs. [539] to [544]; for the collecting knots, fig. [530]. The only difficult point is where the threads cross each other inside the bars and form a check and by carefully following the course of the knots in fig. [587], that will be easily overcome.
