Net 4 plain rows; net 1 row putting the silk twice round the mesh; in the next row net the 2nd stitch first, (in netting it half turn it), then net the 1st in the same way; repeat these stitches to the end of the row. Net 3 plain rows. Net 1 row putting the silk twice round the mesh, then a row netting the 2nd stitch first, and so on until the purse is wide enough. N.B. This purse is very pretty with only 2 small rows instead of 4, and netted in shades of different colors. _Chequered Purse._ Mesh No. 17, and as many needles as you wish to have squares. Net 6 stitches in pink silk backwards and forwards for 12 rows; net 6 stitches of brown silk, beginning at the distance of 6 stitches from the pink; pass the brown silk through the loop of the pink, and when the rows form alternate squares of pink and brown, begin with the pink over the brown, and the brown over the pink. _Purse in Round Netting._ Mesh No. 14; a foundation 72 stitches wide. Every row is alike. After the needle has been drawn through the stitch (as in common netting), before pulling the stitch tight, it is passed under that part of the silk which goes through the stitch. _Matrimony.--For a Purse._ Mesh No. 15, and a foundation of 60 or 70 stitches. Net 1 row. 2nd row, net the 2nd stitch first then net the first, passing the needle through the second as well as the first, to join them together; repeat these stitches to the end of the row. 3rd row, plain netting. 4th row, net a stitch, miss a stitch, net the next, then net the stitch you missed, passing the needle through the last stitch, (it will be seen that the object in netting a stitch before beginning the pattern is to prevent the joined stitches being over each other); repeat the 2 last stitches to the end of the row, netting the last stitch. _Another._ Begin on a foundation of 60 stitches, with a mesh No. 15. Net a row, passing the silk twice round the mesh. 2nd row, (once round the mesh,) net the 2nd stitch first, half turning it, then net the other plain, net the 4th, half turning it, then the 3rd plain, repeat these stitches until the row is finished. Begin again with the 1st row. _Annet Purse._ Mesh No. 17, and foundation of 60 stitches. Net the 1st row, passing the silk twice round the mesh every stitch. 2nd row, pull the 1st stitch _through_ the 2nd from the back, net it; pull the 2nd stitch through the _middle_ of the 1st, (taking care not to twist it), net it; pull the 3rd through the 4th, net it; pull the 4th through the _middle_ of the 3rd, net it; repeat these stitches to the end of the row. Begin again with the 1st row, netting 1 stitch plain before beginning the pattern. _Honey-comb Purse._
