[Illustration: FIG. 520. KNOTTING ON WITH A FRINGE HEADING.]
KNOTTING ON THREADS WITH A FRINGE HEADING (fig. 520).—Knot the threads on with a picot heading, as explained in the preceding figure, then cut the picots through and unravel and comb out the threads.
For this way of knotting on threads, a very strongly twisted material is better than a loose one, as when it is cut and untwisted, it makes a much richer and fuller fringe.
KNOTTING ON WITH PICOTS AND FLAT DOUBLE KNOTS (fig. 521).—Take two threads, pin them on close together, make a flat double knot, fig. 516, tying the outer threads over the inner ones, and loop the ends over a cord to make a horizontal bar of knots.
KNOTTING ON THREADS WITH PICOTS AND TWO FLAT DOUBLE KNOTS (figs. 522 and 523).—Pin the two threads on as before and make two flat double knots, one below the other; detail _a_ shows the first knot begun, detail _b_ the two knots completed. Fig. 523 shows the picots secured by a horizontal bar of knots beneath them.

[Illustration: FIG. 524. KNOTTING ON THREADS WITH SCALLOPS.]
KNOTTING ON THREADS WITH SCALLOPS (fig. 524).—The threads for the scallops must be cut much longer than those that are to be knotted on below them. The button-hole loops must be so made that they turn upwards; and there must be 12 of them, all made with the left hand thread over the right hand thread, detail _a_. Then, knot on two double threads underneath the scallop and besides, make knots with the threads that come from the scallops, detail _b_.
[Illustration: FIG. 525. KNOTTING ON THREADS WITH LOOPS.]
KNOTTING ON THREADS WITH LOOPS (fig. 525).—Pin on two threads folded in half, a little distance apart, detail _a_, and bind them together with a flat double knot. Pin on more lengths close to them, the inner threads of which are held by a “collecting knot”, as the flat double knot is called when it is made over more than two threads (see also fig. 530). The ends of the threads can then be looped over one or two cords, so as to form a single or double bar of knots, as required.
