Purse nets are square mesh?

[cadvice 4]

you make them exactly the same but longer and no ring id suggest getting some wire and making a triangle check these vids and you'll see what I mean saves cutting the ring off at the end.

the triangles also make it easier to knit because at some point the net will become so long you can't pull it tight

you'll have to roll up your net and attach your knitting line in the middle of the net.

 

hope this helps ian

Generally there are 13 - 15 meshes using a 2 1/8th mesh board. Good luck if you go ahead with it. You'll need a lot of patience and perseverance.
