Knitted Sponge Net

by Weldons

Published in Weldon’s Practical Knitter, Thirty-Second Series.

“The following directions are for making a small-sized sponge net which measures only eight inches across; if a larger one be desired, all that is necessary is to use longer pieces of cane, to cast on more stitches, and to knit more rows. The pattern is such an exceedingly simple one that even a comparatively inexperienced worker will find it quite easy thus to adapt it.”

The yarn called for is about three-quarters of a ball of fine macrame twine worked on four No. 12 steel knitting needles.

Notions: Two pieces of split cane (one 24”, one 12”), scarlet braid.
