MOTIF: Ch6, jointo formaring,ch5,dcinring,*ch2,dc in ring, repeat from * 5 times, ch 2, joinin 3rd st of ch.

2nd Row: SI st into loop, ch 4, * thread over hook twice, insert in Same space, thread over and work off 2loops twice, repeat from * once, thread over and pull through all loops at one time, ** ché, cluster st in next loop (cluster st: * thread over twice, insert inloop, thread over and work off 2 loops twice, repeat from * twice, thread over and work off all loops at one time), repeat from ** 6 times, ch6, joinin top of 1 st cluster st.

3rd Row: Ché6,scinnext loop, *ch6,scinnext cluster st, ché,scinnext loop, repeat from * 6 times, ch3,d cin joining (this brings thread in position for next row).

4th Row: * Ch7,scinnext loop, repeat from * all around ending withch 3, dcindc.

5th Row: * Ch8,scinnext loop, repeat from * all around ending withch 3, trcindc.

6th Row: Ch9,scinnext loop, ** ch2,7trcwithch2 between eachtrcinnext loop, ch2,scinnextloop, * ch 9,scinnext loop, repeat from * once, repeat from ** twice, ch2,7trcwithch 2 between eachtrcinnext loop, ch2,scinnextloop, ch4, trcintre.

7th Row: ** Ch10,scinnext loop, * ch2, 3trcinnexttrc, repeat from * 3 times, ch 10, 3 trc in same space, * ch 2, 3 trcinnexttrc, repeat from * twice, ch 2,s cinnext loop, repeat from ** all around, ending withaslstintrc, cut thread.

Work a 2nd motif in same manner joining to Ist motif in last row as follows: ch10,scinnextloop, *ch2, 3trcin next trc, repeat from * 3 times, ch 5, sl st in corner loop of Ist motif, ch 5, 3 trcinsame space of 2nd motif, ch 2, 3 tr cinnexttrc, ch], slstin corresponding loop of Ist motif, chl, 3trcinnexttrcof 2nd motif, ch2, 3trcinnexttrce,ch 2,scinnextloop,ch5,slstin corresponding loop of Ist motif, ch5,scinnextloop of 2nd motif, *ch2, 3trcin next trc, repeat from * once, ch 1, sl stin corresponding loop of Ist motif, ch1, 3trcinnext trc of 2nd motif, ch 2, 3 trcinnexttrc,ch5,slstincornerloop of Ist motif, ch 5, 3 trcinsame space of 2nd motif and complete motif same as Ist motif. Join 3rd motif to 2nd motif and 4th motif to Ist and 3rd motifs in same manner.

EDGE: Join thread in 4th ch 2 loop to right of corner, 3sc insame space, ch 3, slstintop of lasts c for picot,*3sc over next ch 2 loop, picot, repeat from * twice, 3s cin corner loop, ch 3 picot, *3scinsame loop, picot, repeat from * twice, *3scinnext ch 2 loop, picot, repeat from * 3 times, 3scinnext loop, picot, *3sc, picotinsame loop, repeat from * twice, * 3scinnextch 2 loop, picot, repeat from* 3 times, * 3Sc, picot, 3Sc, picot innext loop, repeat from * once, continue all around in same manner.
