Putting Wideners in an Old School Cast Net. Why and how to tie wideners. Method for widening a cast net.
A couple of clarifications and corrections:
This net is 1” sq. 2” stretch.
Two rows=One mesh
The net starts with 42 knots resulting in 41 mesh. The tie-in of each side to finish the row results in a total of 42 mesh (not knots) on the starter row.
The net has a total of 14 wideners in each widener row.
As each widener row is made, the wideners should be positioned directly below the widener row above.
To calculate the mesh in a row: number of mesh between wideners X number of wideners + number of wideners. Example (28 mesh x 14 wideners + 14 wideners = 406 Total Row Mesh ) I believe this was stated as 448 in video which was incorrect.
Check out some of my other videos and learn the flying knot. Although a complete net can be knitted with sheet bends, once learned, the flying knot is quicker to tie and promotes less knot slippage than a sheet bend knot.
