Net Patterns

[Kenny.B 1]

Hi guys n gals,

 

 

Just curious on your net patterns/configurations for those that make their own. i wonder how many different mesh patterns are used?

 

I.e.

2 1/4 mesh - 3` 6" net

Straight twenty on the ring down to four foot long . i like plenty bagging

As always I do thing differently.

I start on a triangle with 9 meshes.
2nd row increase on the 3rd and 6th mesh =11 meshes
3rd row increase on the increase meshes from the prievious row = 13 meshes
4th row the same as the third row increase on the increase meshes on the previous row = 15 meshes.
Then 15 meshes all the way to the 19th row.
Row 20 decrease by knitting the 5th + 6th and the 10th + 11th meshes together.
Row 21 Knit the 4th + 5th and 8th + 9th meshes.
Row 22 Knit the 3rd + 4th and the 7th+8th meshes =9 meshes.

You then have a net that sits tidy on the ring yet still has a good belly on the net

Personally I have never seen the need for more than around the 15 meshes wide. Even with a 4" mesh 15 x 4" =60 inches stretched width in the middle of the net. I know it seems a lot of width, but as with any net if you stretch width wise you reduce height wise. I used to ferret sand warrens a lot and some of those mouths of warrens would make a fox hole look small. Yet the 15 meshes wide net nearly always worked. If the hole could not be covered by a purse net of that size, I would then use the poke nets.

 

Just my opinion for what it's worth.

24 rows@21/4" gives a 4'6" net more than enough bagging in fact if you hold the centre rows(2nd and 3rd 18's)you can stretch the net until the rings meet and still have some meshes(1/2) left in your hands
