Introduction

Usually, a clothwork area is made in one stitch (cloth stitch, half stitch or whole stitch) going more or less horizontally from left to right and back again. In Embellished Clothwork different, asymmetric stitches are applied in one area, going strictly horizontally from left to right and back on the next row.

For embellished clothwork with one stitch and its mirrored versions only, see net variations.

A note on pins

If the ground is made with asymmetric stitches like crcl, the ground might benefit if a pin is put in every stitch, like cr-P-cl and even ct-P-c.

A note on footsides

For most of the horizontal nets, the footsides on the left and right are best made with stitches like (t)ctPctctPc(t) covering two rows as shown in the picture on the right.

Or stitches like cllPcrcllPcr on the left footside and crrPclcrrPcl on the right footside.
