Sl st to center st of next ch-5, ch 5, and complete a cluster in same place as last sl st, ch 5, make a 3-tr tr cluster in same place as last cluster was made, * ch 5. In next sc make two 3-tr tr clusters with ch-5 between, ch 5, skip next ch-5; in center st of next ch-5 (between clusters) make two 3-tr tr clusters with ch-5 between. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, sl st in tip of 1st cluster made.

Sl st in next sp, ch 3 (to count as dc), 6 dc in same sp, * 7 dc in next sp. Repeat from * around. Sl st in 3rd st of ch-3 first made.

Ch 2, tr in next tr, ch 4, dc in next dc, ch 4, half dc in next half dc, ch 4, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Ch 3, * dc in next 5 sc; (4 dc in next sp, dc in next st) 3 times. Make 2 dc in next sp, dc in next st, 2 dc in next sp, 3 dc in center st of corner ch-5, 2 dc in same corner sp, dc in next st, 2 dc in next sp, dc in next st. Make (4 dc in next sp, dc in next st) 3 times. Repeat from * around. Join and fasten off. This completes one motif.

Make necessary number of motifs and sew them together on wrong side with neat over-and-over stitches. Block to measurements given.
