Stitches

Little squares of net serve as a foundation for a number of different stitches and these stitches lend them- selves to so many combinations that we are sure that amongst those we are going to describe there will be some unknown to our readers. We can say for certain that many of them we have never met with either described or illustrated in any publication we have come across.

Instant Phreaking Spell

Linen stitch and Darning stitch

Linen stitch: This is the stitch most often met with in the old: embroideries and the grounds of leaves and flowers as well as the edges are generally worked in it. After fastening the thread to a knot of the net it is carried twice. Darning stitch:Threads of the net so that every second thread passes at the end of the row under the thread of the net and over it when it is brought upwards again. This forms the body of the linen stitch which is completed by the second series of stitches, the same as in darning stitch.

The arrow shews how you pick up the loops and finish the first circle round the wheel. The second detail in the same figure explains the laying of a second thread in the loops, and how the thread is passed through them to make a second circle. The white line serves as guide for the stitches. The third detail represents a finished wheel.
