Sample

Used Cordonnet special DMC 20 thread.
Used 3 rows of plain netting over #3 kn before begining first row of stitch.
Began with 28 loops.

Circular Netting	Diamond Mesh Netting
number of loops: multiple of 8	number of loops: (multiple of 8) + 4 loops

Round 1	Mesh stick: #3 kn	Row 1	Mesh stick: #3 kn

Net 2 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 6 loops; repeat.		Net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops, net 2 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 6 loops; repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops.




Round 2	Mesh stick: #3 kn	Row 2	Mesh stick: #3 kn

Net 2 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops; repeat.		Net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops, net 2 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops; repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops.





Round 3	Mesh stick: #3 kn	Row 3	Mesh stick: #3 kn

Net 2 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops; repeat.		Net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops, net 2 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops; repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops.





Round 4	Mesh stick: #3 kn	Row 4	Mesh stick: #3 kn

Net 2 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops; repeat.		Net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, net 2 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops; repeat from * to * ending with net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops.
