Net Pattern

[Deej 22]

I'm thinking of giving this a try but not sure if there will be enough body in the net.

 

9,9,11,11,13,13,15 x8,13,13,11,11,9,9

 

Not sure if i should add 1 extra 15 making the length 21 long,

 

So a little advice would be good

 

cheers

 

EDIT: sorry should have said 2 1/8" mesh board.

So no net body issues with the 6X15 that was my only worries the end 9 meshes will be freehand knitted to the rings as i use a triangle

In my opinion setting the net is far more important than the dimensions of a net,,or the material it's made from,,,, of course provided there's enough room for an adult rabbit to fit in it.... In my bag I have two old nets that are only 16 meshes longand about 14 at there widest,,,made from a 2 inch mesh board,,, making them a shade over 2 foot 6,,,and they both catch rabbits...

 

Now don't get me wrong ,, I don't think you can beat a good 4 footer,,,,but setting them is the important bit

Never had any issues at all,like Tomo said its the setting of the net that's important,see what works best for you,and stick with that

In agreement with Tomo, I would add though that you know your land and what the setts etc are like, that should tell you more than we can, if you're with me.

When i started my first few nets, they ended up smaller than i thought they were. Some are just a bit too small to hold an adult rabbit properly and they can slip the net. But i learnt from my mistake. I start at 10,10,12,12,13,13,14,15,15,15,15,15,15,15,14,13,13,12,12,10,10,..................gives plenty of room
