In the next pattern, instead of working the 3 rows with No. 19 mesh, work the motto No. 2.
With No. 19 mesh, net 1 plain row, net 62 stitches, and then begin the motto; finish the row plain. Then cut the silk off, commence at the other end, and work the second row of motto; at the end of this row, cut the silk off, and knot the 2 ends together, to prevent losing a stitch. After the motto is finished, net 1 plain row, and repeat the first pattern 3 times.
The beads are put on in the following manner,—thread a bead, (with a small needle,) net 1 stitch, pass the silk under the mesh, put the needle through the bead, bring the silk in front again; this brings the bead on the knot.
