You then, with the threads turned outwards, right and left, make the single chain with 5 changes of the threads and join them together again by a flat knot.
The other single chains are made with 6 and 8 changes of the threads and crossed under the double knots. The tassels, which the red threads serve as a foundation to, are begun by: 1 waved plait with two knots, then 4 single chains, again a waved plait and 1 berry composed of knots.
This berry is made over the 8 threads that come from the chains, with a long auxiliary thread, knotted as shown in fig. [590].
Fig. 590. Knotted berry for fig. [589].
Large shell knots, as described in figs. [591] and [592] may be substituted in the place of the berry, fig. [590].
