The pattern is so simple in its construction that it is sufficient to refer our readers to fig. [528], for the knotting on of the threads and to fig. [531], for the waved plait.
The little tassels between the knots, are made separately from the rest of the work and fastened on by the thread with which you sew them together at the top.
Macramé ground (fig. [598]).—The work represented in the engraving was made for a purse and copied from a beautiful piece of Arabian stuff. Ganse turque D.M.C was used for the light background and Coton à broder D.M.C for the design. It is very easy to copy this pattern from the illustration by paying scrupulous attention to the number of knots; we do not therefore enter into any detailed description of the same, merely referring the worker to figs. [528] and [596] and the accompanying directions, for the adding on and the taking off of threads.
