making my first stop net

[jf1970 328]

hi, i am going to start making my first stop net,when i start of do i just do the same as making my purse nets, i don't have a split ring to use so i am using 2mm cord,when i am finished do i just pull cord away from net so as to give me the first row of meshes or will the net fall apart if i do it this way?i hope i have explained it ok

You have the right idea there. Once you have the first couple of rows in place just keep on knitting the net till you have the desired length. Just remember 2 rows = 1 mesh. so if you want a 5 yard net with 100% slack you then knit 180 rows that equals 90 meshes. When you have finshed the net thread the running lines through the net by tying it to the the loop of twine that you started the net with. The end of the net you will have to thread the lines through by hand.

Yes and after youve cut the cord away pull the first meshes and the knots should pop out

i would start on one mesh(this is to be the corner of the net)

 

adding one mesh per row untill you have the desired width/depth. then carry on(without adding for the length.reduce back to one.

does that give you square mesh as opposed to diamond mesh?
