Ch 1, * in next loop make 3 sc, ch 1 and 3 sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Sl st to 1st ch-1 sp, ch 1, sc in same sp, * ch 9, sc in next ch-1 sp. Repeat from * around, joining last ch-9 to 1st sc.

Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, * in next loop make 4 sc, ch 3, sc in 3rd ch from hook (a ch-3 p made), and 4 sc, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Sl st across 3 sc, ch 1, sc in next sc, * ch 9, skip p, sc in next sc, ch 9, skip 7 sc, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Sl st in 3 ch, ch 1, 4 sc in same loop, * ch 3, 3 sc in next loop, ch 3, 4 sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join.

Sl st across 3 sc, sl st in next ch, ch 5, holding back last 2 loops of each dtr on hook, make 2 dtr in next ch, thread over and draw through all loops on hook, * ch 15, skip 1 ch, 3 sc and 1 ch, holding back last 2 loops of each dtr on hook, make 3 dtr in next ch, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster), ch 1, skip 1 ch, 4 sc and 1 ch, cluster in next ch. Repeat from * around, ending with cluster, ch 1, sl st in top of 1st cluster made.

Ch 5, dc in next loop, (ch 1, dc in same loop) 10 times; * (ch 2, dc in top of next cluster) twice; ch 2, in next loop make 11 dc with ch-1 between. Repeat from * around, joining last ch-2 with sl st in 3rd st of 1st ch-5. Turn, sl st in last sp, turn.

Ch 5, dc in next sp, * (ch 2, skip 1 dc, dc in next dc) 5 times; (ch 2, dc in next sp) 3 times. Repeat from * around. Join.

Sl st in next sp, ch 5, * dc in next sp, ch 2. Repeat from * around. Join, turn, sl st in last sp, turn.

Ch 6, * dc in next sp, ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join.

Sl st in next sp, ch 3, 2 dc in same sp, * 3 dc in next sp. Repeat from * around. Join.

Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, ch 5, skip 5 dc, between 5th and 6th dc make 2 dtr, ch 5 and 2 dtr, * ch 5, skip 6 dc, sc between 6th and 7th dc, ch 5, skip 6 dc, between 6th and 7th dc make 2 dtr, ch 5 and 2 dtr. Repeat from * around. Join.

* In next loop make 3 sc, ch-3 p, and 2 sc, sc in 2 dtr, in next loop make 2 sc, p, 2 sc, sc in next dtr, ch 15, turn, skip 2 sc, p and 2 sc, sl st in next sc, turn. Working over last chain make 4 sc, (p, 2 sc) twice; p, 4 sc, sc in next dtr, in next loop make 2 sc, p and 3 sc. Repeat from * around. Join and fasten off. Starch lightly, press.
