Figure 2.—Netted food carrier (Bishop Mus., C2867): a, general shape of bag: bottom width, 420 mm.; middle depth, 350 mm.; cord thickness, 5 mm.; open mesh, 48 mm.; upper row of loops (1). b, netting technique: commences with sennit loops (1) and first row of meshes (2), also of sennit; body of two-ply cord; piece of netting of commencement width continued with reef knots until twice required depth, with a row of sennit meshes (3) and sennit loops (4); netting is then doubled so that commencement loops (1) and end loops (4) come together, and side edges are then joined. c, joining side edges: length of braid (1) is tied to middle of a marginal mesh (2) on left side with a figure-of-eight knot (see e) at bottom, where netting is doubled and carried diagonally upward to be tied to middle of a marginal mesh (3) on right edge; braid then crosses to left to be tied to middle of next marginal mesh (4) and then back to next marginal mesh (5) on right; this diagonal course of the joining sennit is continued for full depth of bag and ends at rim loops; bag at each lower corner is somewhat crumpled through regularity of meshes being crowded together by commencement of joining sennit; for details of joining knot on right and left side see f and g. d, reef knot forming general meshing knot, e, commencement knot of joining sennit (1) attached to left mesh (2) in figure-of-eight knot as in c,1, 2; the lower loop passes around one mesh element but upper loop passes around same mesh element and around joining sennit (1). f, knot made by the joining sennit (1) around mesh (3) on right; first makes a half-hitch around mesh cord, and a second reversed half-hitch around same mesh cord and sennit passes below and through first half-hitch (see c, 3). g, knot by joining sennit (1) around mesh cord on left; similar to f but first half-hitch passes under mesh cord instead of over it.
