Attach White and work 1-7 trc popcorn st over each loop and having ch 4 between each popcorn st, join, break thread.

Attach Green in top of any popcorn st, ** ch 4, * thread over hook twice, insert in same space, pull loop through, thread over and work off 2 loops twice, repeat from * twice, thread over and work off all loops at one time (trc cluster st), ch 7, thread over hook twice, insert in 5th st from hook, pull loop through, thread over and work off 2 loops twice, * thread over twice, insert in same space, pull loop through, thread over and work off 2 loops twice, repeat from * once, thread over and work off all loops at one time (trc rice st) sl st in next popcorn st, dc cluster st in same space, ch 5, dc rice st in 4th st from hook, sl st in next popcorn st, repeat from ** all around.

Ch 9, * trc cluster st in 1st st between next cluster and rice sts, ch 5, trc cluster st in next st, ch 5, trc in next popcorn st of previous row, ch 5, 2-4 dc cluster sts with ch 5 between in ch between next cluster and rice sts, ch 5, trc in next popcorn st of previous row, ch 5, repeat from * twice, trc cluster st in 1st ch between next cluster and rice sts, ch 5, trc cluster st in next st, ch 5, trc in next popcorn st of previous row, ch 5, 2-4 dc cluster sts with ch 5 between in ch between next cluster and rice sts, ch 5, join in 4th st of ch, break thread.

Attach White in loop before any 2 cluster sts, ch 4, 5 trc popcorn st in same space, ** ch 2, 2 popcorn sts with ch 2 between in next loop, * ch 2, popcorn st in next loop, repeat from * once, repeat from ** all around ending row to correspond.

Sl st to loop, ch 4, popcorn st in same space, ** ch 2, 2 popcorn sts with ch 2 between in next loop, * ch 2, popcorn st in next loop, repeat from * twice, repeat from ** all around ending row to correspond. Continue working in same manner increasing 1 popcorn st at each increasing point until there are 6 single popcorn sts between increasing points, break thread.

Attach Green in center st of loop before the popcorn sts at increasing point, ** ch 4, (counts as part of 1st cluster st) trc cluster st in same space, ch 7, trc rice st in 5th st from hook, * skip 1 loop, sl st in center st of next loop, ch 3, dc cluster st in same space, ch 5, dc rice st in 4th st from hook, repeat from * twice, skip 1 loop, sl st in center st of next loop, repeat from ** all around ending row to correspond.

Sl st to top of next cluster st, ch 4, trc cluster st in next st, ** ch 5, trc cluster st in next st, * ch 3, dc in sl st between next rice and cluster sts, ch 3, 2-4 dc cluster sts with ch 3 between in ch between next cluster and rice sts, repeat from * twice, ch 3, dc in sl st between next rice and cluster sts, ch 3, trc cluster st in 1st ch between next cluster and rice sts, repeat from ** all around in same manner ending row to correspond, join, break thread.

Attach Yellow in center loop between any 2 ch-5 loops and work 7 sc in same space, break thread.

Attach Shaded Pinks in 2nd cluster st before Yellow sc group, 5 trc popcorn st in 1st sc, * ch 2, skip 1 sc, popcorn st in next sc, repeat from * twice, skip 2 loops, sl st in next cluster st, break thread. Work 7 more half motives in same manner.
