tion: FIG. 578. FRINGE WITH SHELL KNOTS.

MATERIALS: Coton a tricoter D.M.C Nos. 6 to 15.

COLOURS: Ecru and Rouge-Turc 321.]

The threads must be taken double, counting as one. Knot them on, as in
fig. 524. This exceedingly effective pattern is a very simple one to
work and can easily be copied from the engraving by following, for the
bars, figs. 537 to 544; for the collecting knots fig. 530, for the
large shell knots figs. 575 and 576, and for the chain of flat double
knots, fig. 536 detail _a_.

The tassels that complete the fringe must depend from the last
collecting knot and hang between the triple bars of knots and beneath
the collecting knot.
