Sample

Used DMC 20 Cordonnet special thread. Used 3 rows of plain netting over #3 kn before begining first row of stitch. Began with 14 loops.

NOTE:
The amount of increase can vary depending on how many knots are net in each loop in round/row 3. Any number greater than 1 will increase the number of loops. For circular netting, always net 1 less knot into the CK than into the other loops.
