Knit your first row onto a loop of line and take it from there

I find to take my time, do a bit each night with a beer,make you mind up what you will use nylon or hemp and buy enought in,If hemp be maticulas with the quality control,especially If you end up getting it from different suppliers I have one net I made I did it to use all my old hemp up its a right mish mash of od rolls,but its a good rabbit catcher,dont skimp on the bag I use 50% ie 50yds of net to make a 25yds of long net,If you are setting at night it might be worth considering using different coloured lines top and bottom,if not dont bother, If you want to make the net a bit wider than a normal net, as in extra meshes in depth it wont hurt,remember Hemp gets heavy when wet and needs to be well dried before storage,I use both types and catching wise no difference in my opinion,I you want to do the job cheaply bridport nets,will sell you sheet netting for little money,
