Crossed Center

By Rita on April 20, 2012 No Comments

This center was developed when I wondered if the crossed stitch could be used as a center.

Thread Used in Sample
size 20 crochet thread.

Sample Diameter
about 2.25 inches

Instructions for the Sample Pictured Above
Wind two netting needles, one with single thread and one with double thread (2 threads).

Round 1	mesh stick: 5/8″ Using needle filled with double thread net 30 double thread loops in foundation loop, last one tied by hand. NOTE: Connecting thread is also double.	30 knots in round

Round 2	mesh stick: 5/8″ Net 2 loops together (30 double loops). To tie CK at the end of this round: Cut double thread needle off, leaving a 2″ to 3″ long tail. Lay the 2 strings from the connecting thread and the 2 strings from the double thread needle in front of you with the strings from the double thread needle on the left. Number the threads from left to right 1, 2, 3, and 4. Tie 2 CK’s, each one making a single loop, by tying string 2 to string 4 and string 1 to string 3. Then tie single thread needle to string 4. String 1 becomes the connecting thread. Begin round 3 and net 1 knot in each loop for several loops, then tie strings 2 and 3 together by hand so the loop is the same length as those loops just formed in round 2. Cut strings 2 and 3 off with very short tails.	30 knots in round

Round 3	mesh stick: #3 kn Net 1 knot in each single loop.	60 knots in round

Rounds 4-5	mesh stick: #3 kn Net 1 knot in each loop.	60 knots in round

Cupid Increase Stitch

By Rita on May 26, 2012 No Comments

Number of Loops Needed for This Stitch:
– For a Round: multiple of 5 loops
– For a Row: multiple of 5 loops + 3 loop

The number of loops listed assumes that cupid stitches are started 3 loops apart.

Sample:
began with 18 loops	began with 3 rows of plain netting over #3 kn	used this thread DMC 20 Cordonnet special thread

Sources For This Stitch:
currently unknown

Instructions for the Sample Pictured Above


Circular Netting		Diamond-mesh Netting
Round 1 mesh stick: #4 kn		Row 1 mesh stick: #4 kn
Net 3 knots in next loop, net 3 knots in next loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops; repeat.		Net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, net 3 knots in each loop for 2 loops, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops; repeat from * to *.


Round 2 mesh stick: #4 kn		Row 2 mesh stick: #4 kn

Round 3 mesh stick: #4 kn		Row 3 mesh stick: #4 kn
Net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, net 4 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops; repeat from * to *.		Net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops, net 4 loops together, net 1 knot in each loop for 5 loops; repeat from * to *, ending net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops.

NOTE:
The amount of increase can vary depending on how close the cupid stitches are placed in round/row 1, (sample has them start 3 loops apart) and how many rows are done with the cupid stitch.

Number of loops needed in round/row to begin stitch varies depending on how close the cupid stitches are placed in round/row 1.

For circular netting this stitch requires a multiple of 2 loops plus the number of loops between the cupid stitches (eg. 2 + 3=5).

For diamond mesh netting this stitch requires the same number as for circular netting plus the number of loops between the cupid stitches (eg. Multiple of (2 + 3) + 3=8, or 13, or 18).

Double Thread Center

By Rita on April 20, 2012 No Comments

I wanted to see if I could turn the Double Thread Stitch into a center. The hardest part was figuring out how to tie the CK so it looked the same as the other knots.

Thread Used in Sample
size 30 crochet thread.

Sample Diameter
2.75 inches

Instructions for the Sample Pictured Above

Wind two netting needles, one with single thread and one with double thread (2 threads).

Round 1	mesh stick: 5/8″ Using needle filled with double thread net 24 double thread loops in foundation loop, last one tied by hand. NOTE: Connecting thread is also double. To tie CK at the end of this round: Cut double thread needle off, leaving a 2″ to 3″ long tail. Lay the 2 strings from the connecting thread and the 2 strings from the double thread needle in front of you with the strings from the double thread needle on the left. Number the threads from left to right 1, 2, 3, and 4. Tie 2 CK’s, each one making a single loop, by tying string 2 to string 4 and string 1 to string 3. Then tie single thread needle to string 4. String 1 becomes the connecting thread. Begin round 3 and net 1 knot in each loop for several loops, then tie strings 2 and 3 together by hand so the loop is the same length as those loops just formed in round 2. Cut strings 2 and 3 off with very short tails.	24 knots in round

Round 2	mesh stick: #3 kn Net 1 knot in each single loop.	48 knots in round

Round 3	mesh stick: #3 kn Net 1 knot in each loop.	knots in round

Circular Netting

Diamond Mesh Netting

Round 1	mesh stick: Top – #5 kn, Bottom – 1/4″ Over both sticks net 1 knot in next loop, over #5 kn net 1 knot in next loop, repeat.

Round 1 – Alternative Method	mesh stick: #5 kn Wrap thread around kn before netting 1 knot in next loop, net 1 knot in next loop (without any additional wrapping), repeat. Result: one double length loop and one regular length loop.

Round 2	mesh stick: #5 kn Net 2 knots in each long loop and 1 knot in each short loop. When you net in the short loop, do not pull the loop down to the mesh stick. The knot tied will be up higher than the mesh stick. Instead of pulling down and toward yourself when you tighten the knot, you may find it easier to pull slightly up and away from yourself.

Row 1	mesh stick: Top – #5 kn, Bottom – 1/4″ Over both sticks net 1 knot in next loop, over #5 kn net 1 knot in next loop, over both sticks net 1 knot in next loop; repeat from * to * across the row.

Row 1 – Alternative Method	mesh stick: #5 kn Wrap thread around kn before netting 1 knot in next loop, net 1 knot in next loop (without any additional wrapping), net 1 wrapped loop in the next loop; repeat from * to * across the row. Result: one double length loop and one regular length loop.

Pinecone Center

By Rita on April 20, 2012 No Comments

Many years ago I found a doily I liked on page 46 in a booklet called Filet. It was edited by Eva Tiesler, and published in Germany in 1977. My husband helped me translate the instructions into English. This pattern served as a jumping off point for my imagination. After some changes I had a new center.

Pointed Edge

By Rita on April 25, 2012 No Comments

Number of Loops Needed for This Edge:
– For a Row: multiple of 5 loops 5
– For a Round: multiple of 5 loops

Width of Sample Edge
(from row or round 1)
.5 inches

Thread Used in Sample

size 30 crochet thread.

Sample began with

2 rows of plain netting.

Sources For This Edge:
This edge was created when I wondered what would happen if I did not skip the last loop in each row of the Lacy Pointed Edge, but instead net the last two loops together.

Instructions for the Sample Pictured Above

Circular Netting: Cut the loose thread that is used in tying the CK. No CK will be tied in remaining rows. Each point is finished before starting the next point.

Diamond Mesh Netting: Each point is finished before starting the next point.

Row 1	mesh stick: #3 kn Net 1 knot in each of the next 5 loops (total 6 knots on mesh stick, 5 loops formed). Remove stick and turn netting over.
Row 2	mesh stick: #3 kn Going into last loop netted, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, net last 2 loops together. Remove stick and turn netting over.
Row 3	mesh stick: #3 kn Going into last loop netted, net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, net last 2 loops together. Remove stick and turn netting over.
Row 4	mesh stick: #3 kn Going into last loop netted, net 1 knot in 1 loop, net last 2 loops together. Remove stick and turn netting over.

Row 5	mesh stick: #3 kn Without mesh stick net 2 loops together to form point.

Last Row	mesh stick: #3 kn Net last 2 loops together to form point. Cut thread.

To Make Next Point:

Cut thread. Attach netting needle to the finished netting by tying the thread to the first free loop on last round in the netting (the round just before 1st row of point began) to the right of the point just formed.

OR:

Put the netting needle through the loops on the right side of the point, winding down the point. Tie thread to first free loop on last round (the round just before 1st row of point began) to the right on the point just formed.

Then:

Repeat from first row in the point to the last row in the point.

Tiered Center

By Rita on April 20, 2012 2 Comments

I was making a large number of small doilies and I wanted them to be different. I was tired of using the same centers over and over. I wondered what the center would look like if I used a large mesh stick in the first two rows before using the small one. I originally called this center Marigold, but decided to rename it Tiered. I thought it looked like a tiered cake.
