Begin this macrame projects with the open work on either side of the crossed
bars, figs. 581 and 582, with 4 blue threads and by 4 changes of the threads
outwards and 3 inwards = the same with 4 light green threads with 3 changes
outwards and 2 inwards = then with the dark green threads, with 2 changes outwards
and 3 inwards = over the 4th dark green thread, 1 double knot with the 1st dark
green thread with the 4th light green one and with the 4 blue.

Over the 3 next, dark green threads, knot the 4 light green threads and the
4 blue, from right to left, and from left to right, thus forming altogether
8 bars across the first bar = then knot the 8 first threads over the last dark
green one = add a crossed bar with 7 changes of the threads outwards and 5 inwards.
Middle group, left side: 1 double knot with the first light brown thread over
the second thread; 3 double knots with the black threads (the only ones that
are to be taken double) and 2 light brown threads over the 1st and 2nd dark
brown ones.
In the 2nd bar of this macrame projects, knot the 1st dark brown thread, and
in the 3rd, the 4 dark brown ones, over the black thread. On the right, a similar
group, slanting towards the one on the left.
On the left—over the 1st light brown thread coming from the right, 1
double knot, made with 2 light and 2 dark brown threads, and the black one,
all coming from the left.
On the right—over the 1st light brown thread coming from the left, 1
double knot with 1 light and 2 dark brown threads and the black one (used double).
On the left—over the light brown thread coming from the right, 1 double
knot with one light and 2 dark brown threads and the black one.
On the right—over the light brown thread, 1 double knot with 2 dark
brown threads and the black one.
On the left—the same knots as on the right.
On the right—over the 1 dark brown thread 1 knot with 1 brown thread
and the black one.
On the left—the same knots as on the right.
On the right—over the 1st dark brown thread, 1 knot with a brown thread
and the black one.
On the left—the same knots over the last thread.
On the right—over the last brown thread one knot with the black one.
On the left—over the 4 light green threads and the 4 blue ones, double
knots with the 4 brown threads and the black one = 1 double knot with the 1st
light brown thread over the 2nd, 3 double knots over the 2nd dark brown thread,
with 2 light threads and 1 dark brown = 4 double knots with the 2 light and
the 2 dark brown threads over the black one;
After which you make 5 other bars, taking the last thread turned inwards for
the cord. Make similar groups, in this macrame projects, slanting from right
to left, then, beginning again on the left, make the knots with the 4 light
green threads over the 1st thread of the same colour running from right to left.
On the right—knot 3 light green threads over the 1st thread coming from
the left and repeat the same group twice, on both sides.
The third bar forms, at the same time, the first scallop of a triple crossed
bar, which has also to be made on the right.
The two crossed bars finish with a triple group of bars in this macrame projects;
the last bar of which, on the right, consists of only one double knot.
There remain to be made, on both sides, crossed bars with three whole scallops
inside, one outside, and one half one, top and bottom.
Knot all the other threads over the 4 blue and the 4 light green ones = in
the middle, knot the right and the left threads, alternately, till the black
threads meet at the point.
Turn the group of bars, edged with blue and light green, inwards, and finish
it off by a crossed bar, with 3 scallops inside in this macrame projects.
