Repeat from * around. Join.

Sl st in next sp, pc st in same sp, * (ch 2, pc st in next sp) twice; ch 5, shell over next shell, ch 7, shell over next shell, ch 3, pc st in next ch-2 sp, ch 2, pc st in next sp, (ch 5, sc in next sp) twice; ch 5, pc st in next ch-2 sp, ch 2, pc st in next sp, ch 3, shell over next shell, ch 7, shell over next shell, ch 5, pc st in next ch-2 sp. Repeat from * around. Join.

Work as for First Motif until 15 rnds have been completed.

Complete rnd, joining next ch-13 sp, next 3 ch-7 loops and next corner sp as before.

Make desired number of motifs, joining adjacent sides as Second Motif was joined to First Motif (where 4 corners meet, join 3rd and 4th corners to joining of previous 2 corners).
