Twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth lace stitches (figs. [744] and [745]).—These two figures show how the relative position of the groups of bars may be varied.
Fig. 744. Twenty-fifth lace stitch.
Fig. 745. Twenty-sixth lace stitch.
Both consist of the same stitches as those described in fig. [741]. The thread that connects the groups should be tightly stretched, so that the rows may form straight horizontal lines.
Twenty-seventh lace stitch (fig. [746]).—Begin by making two rows of net stitches, fig. [720], then two of close ones, fig. [738], and one row like those of fig. [741].
If you want to lengthen the bars, twist the thread once or twice more round the needle. You can also make one row of bars surmounted by wheels, as shown in fig. [765], then one more row of bars and continue with close stitches.
