The grommet start is one way to start a bit of tubular netting at the bottom of the net. When the net reaches the desired length a separate cord is put through the upper meshes to make a drawstring.
The grommet forms the bottom of the bag you will be making.
1. Tie a slip knot leaving a tail 3 times the length of the bag you want to make. Place the loop over a fixed point.

2. Take your gauge and tie your first sheet bend immediately to the right of the slip knot.

3. Continue netting into the loop until you have ONE less than the desired number of loops.

4. Remove the loop from the support and thread the tail through the loop. Pull on the tail near the slip knot to reduce the size of the loop.

5. Pull on the tail until the loop is tight against the slip knot. Then pull the tail through the tightened loop to form the grommet.

6. Tie the tail and working end together with a square (reef) knot.

7. Thread a support (button, swivel, etc.) through the center of the grommet and place the loop over the fixed point. Make sure the needle is on the left.
