MOTIF: Ch 6, join to form a ring, ch 5, d c in ring, * ch 2, d c in ring, repeat from * 5 times, ch 2, join in 3rd st of ch.
2nd Row: Sl st into loop, ch 4, * thread over hook twice, insert in same space, thread over and work off 2 loops twice,
repeat from * once, thread over and pull through all loops at one time, ** ch 6, cluster st in next loop (cluster st: * thread over twice, insert in loop, 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, ch 6, join in top of 1 st cluster st.
3rd Row: Ch 6, s c in next loop, * ch 6, s c in next cluster st, ch 6, s c in next loop, repeat from * 6 times, ch 3, d c in joining (this brings thread in position for next row).
4th Row: * Ch 7, s c in next loop, repeat from * all around ending with ch 3, d c in d c.
5th Row: * Ch 8, s c in next loop, repeat from * all around ending with ch 3, tr c in d c.
6th Row: Ch 9, s c in next loop, ** ch 2, 7 tr c with ch 2 between each tr c in next loop, ch 2, s c in next loop, * ch 9, s c in next loop, repeat from * once, repeat from ** twice, ch 2, 7 tr c with ch 2 between each tr c in next loop, ch 2, s c in next loop, ch 4, tr c in tr c.
7th Row: ** Ch 10, s c in next loop, * ch 2, 3 tr c in next tr c, repeat from * 3 times, ch 10, 3 tr c in same space, * ch 2, 3 tr c in next tr c, repeat from * twice, ch 2, s c in next loop, repeat from ** all around, ending with a sl st in tr c, cut thread.
Work a 2nd motif in same manner joining to 1st motif in last row as follows: ch 10, s c in next loop, * ch 2, 3 tr c in next tr c, repeat from * 3 times, ch 5, sl st in corner loop of 1st motif, ch 5, 3 tr c in same space of 2nd motif, ch 2, 3 tr c in next tr c, ch 1, sl st in corresponding loop of 1st motif, ch 1, 3 tr c in next tr c of 2nd motif, ch 2, 3 tr c in next tr c, ch 2, s c in next loop, ch 5, sl st in corresponding loop of 1st motif, ch 5, s c in next loop of 2nd motif, * ch 2, 3 tr c in next tr c, repeat from * once, ch 1, sl st in corresponding loop of 1st motif, ch 1, 3 tr c in next tr c of 2nd motif, ch 2, 3 tr c in next tr c, ch 5, sl st in corner loop of 1st motif, ch 5, 3 tr c in same space of 2nd motif and complete motif same as 1st motif. Join 3rd motif to 2nd motif and 4th motif to 1st and 3rd motifs in same manner.
EDGE: Join thread in 4th ch 2 loop to right of corner, 3 s c in same space, ch 3, sl st in top of last s c for picot, * 3 s c over next ch 2 loop, picot, repeat from * twice, 3 s c in corner loop, ch 3 picot, * 3 s c in same loop, picot, repeat from * twice, * 3 s c in next ch 2 loop, picot, repeat from * 3 times, 3 s c in next loop, picot, * 3 s c, picot in same loop, repeat from * twice, * 3 s c in next ch 2 loop, picot, repeat from * 3 times, * 3 s c, picot, 3 s c, picot in next loop, repeat from * once, continue all around in same manner.
