Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh size | 4 inch | Diagonal opening per diamond |
| Starting count | 24 eyes | First row on the lead edge |
| Depth (mabaran) | 30 eyes | Number of mesh rows |
| Total meshes | 384 eyes | Horizontal span when spread |
| Finished length | 8 meters | Overall spread width of the panel |
| Tension technique | Bamboo stretch | Use a bamboo pole to keep even tension |
Row-by-Row Increase Pattern
The pairs below indicate row number — increases on that row during widening:
- 2 — 1
- 3 — 2
- 4 — 2
- 5 — 1
- 6 — 2
- 7 — 3
- 9 — 4
This pattern grows the net from the 24-mesh start to reach the planned depth and width.
Notes
- “Increase” means adding extra loops on that row to shape the panel.
- Keep knots consistent in size; apply even tension using the bamboo method.
