The loops must be as many threads of the braid edge long, as they are wide.

Fig. 721. Double net stitch. Second lace stitch.
Double net stitch. Second lace stitch (fig. [721]).—You leave the same distance between the stitches here as in the preceding figure, but in each of the loops of the first row, you must make two button-hole stitches close together. It is as well to round the loop a little less than is usually done in net stitch.
Third lace stitch (fig. [722]).—Here, you make three button-hole stitches close together, joined to the next three by a loop of thread, just long enough to hold the three button-hole stitches of the subsequent row.
