Figure 75. Extra meshes (mata i te tua). a, row of meshes carried along, of which mesh 5 is last completed by knotting to lower loop of mesh 7; instead of carrying cord (3) through next mesh (8) and so completing one mesh in ordinary technique, netter decides to put in extra mesh and so form two meshes between loop of meshes 7 and 8. b, cord (3) carried through intermediate mesh (10) of row above, and loop so formed brought down to upper edge of mesh gage (4) where the two limbs held close toge…
