Netting Instructions

1. Make a beginning chain of the number of desired loops (ie. 30, 40, or 50).

2. Put half of the loops (those on one side of the chain) onto a ring beginning with the last loop tied. Two rows are now completed.

3. Net 1 knot in each loop across the row.

4. Remove mesh stick and turn netting over.

5. Repeat steps 3-4 until the correct number of rows are finished (ie. 40, 50, or 60 loop rows).
