Ch 4, turn. 2nd row: Make a cross st as follows: * Thread over hook twice, skip 1 s c, insert hook in next s c and draw thread through (4 loops on hook), thread over and take off 2 loops, then thread over, skip 1 s c, insert hook in next s c, draw thread through (5 loops on hook), thread over, and take off 2 loops at a time 4 times. Ch 2, 1 d c in center point of the cross, thus completing the cross. Ch 2, and repeat from * across (26 cross sts in all), ending row with 1 tr in last s c. Ch 4, turn. 3rd row: * Thread over hook twice, insert hook in leg of cross st and draw thread through (4 loops on hook), thread over and take off 2 loops, then thread over, insert hook in next leg of same cross st, draw thread through (5 loops on hook), thread over, and take off 2 loops at a time 4 times. Ch 2, 1 d c in center point of the cross, thus completing the cross. Ch 3, and repeat from * across, ending row with tr in 4th st of turning ch-4. Ch 4, turn. 4th, 5th and 6th rows: Same as 3rd row, but each row add 1 ch st to ch's between the cross sts—thus having ch 6 between cross sts on 6th row. At end of 6th row, ch 2, turn. 7th row: * S c in leg of cross st, 2 s c under ch-2, s c in next leg of same cross st, 6 s c under ch-6, repeat from * across. Ch 2, turn. 8th row: S c in each s c across. Ch 4, turn. 9th row: Make a cross st as in 2nd row, skipping 2 s c between legs (instead of 1 s c), * 2 tr in next s c, 1 tr in each of next 5 s c, ch 4, turn. Tr in same tr from which ch-4 started, 1 tr in each of next 5 tr, 2 tr in next tr, 1 tr in leg of cross st, ch 4, turn. 1 tr in same tr from which ch-4 started, 1 tr in each of next 7 tr, 2 tr in next tr. Ch 4, sl st to base of tr just made, ch 4, sl st to base of next tr, make a cross st (again skipping 2 s c—thus having cross st come directly over cross st of 6th row), ch 7, skip 6 s c, make a cross st (this also to come directly over cross st of 6th row). Repeat from * across, ending row to correspond with the beginning. 10th to 13th rows incl: Work rows of s c's, working 2 s c together at each inner corner, and making 2 s c in each outer corner.
