Beginners Net Bag Tutorial
Basic netmaking can be found here http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...g-Part-1-and-2.
Once my students can tie the sheet bend I have them make a simple net bag like this.
1. Using the chain start http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...-in-Net-Making make a chain 16 meshes long. I used a 1 1/2" wide gauge.

2. Make a panel 30 rows long.

3. On either side take a separate cord. Count down 5 rows and strung the cord through the side meshes (see top of photo). Tie the ends of the cord together (see bottom of photo).

4. Take a separaate cord and string it through the end meshes (see top of photo). Tie the ends of the cord together to form a loop (bottom of photo).

5. Hang the bag by these 2 end loops. Will hold a lot of onions or potatoes or whatever.
