Azalea Edging Pattern #6511

Shaded Pinks and Yellow or Colors Desired

With Yellow ch 6, join to form a ring, ch 1 and work 8 s c in ring, join, break Yellow. Attach Shaded Pinks, ch 4, 3 tr c in same space keeping last loop of each tr c on hook, thread over and pull through all loops at one time, ** ch 7, cluster st in next s c (cluster st: thread over hook twice, insert in st, pull through and work off 2 loops twice, * thread over hook twice, insert in same space, pull through and work off 2 loops twice, repeat from * twice, thread over and work off all loops at one time), repeat from ** 6 times, ch 7, join.
2nd Row. Sl st to center of loop, ch 3, s c in same space, * ch 9, s c in next loop, ch 3, s c in same loop, repeat from * all around, ch 9, join, break thread.
2nd Flower. Work 1st row same as 1st flower.
2nd Row. Sl st to center of loop, ch 3, s c in same space, ch 4, sl st in any ch 9 loop of 1st flower, ch 4, s c in next loop of 2nd flower, ch 3, s c in same space (picot loop), ch 4, sl st in next ch 9 loop of 1st flower, ch 4, s c in next loop of 2nd flower, ch 3, s c in same space, finish row same as 1st flower. Work as many flowers as necessary for length desired, joining in same manner and leaving 2 loops free at top and lower edge between joinings. On corner flower leave 4 loops free at outside edge.
Inside Edge. Attach Shaded Pinks in 2nd free loop of 1st flower to right of joining and working on inside, ** ch 8, 2 s c in next loop, * ch 8, d tr c in joining, ch 8, 2 s c in 1st free loop of next flower, ch 8, 2 s c in next loop of same flower, repeat from * to corner, ch 4, 3 d tr c in next joining keeping last loop of each d tr c on hook, 3 d tr c in next joining of same corner flower keeping last loop of each d tr c on hook, thread over and pull through all loops at one time, ch 4, 2 s c in next loop, repeat from ** all around, join.
Next Row. Sl st to next s c, ch 3, sl st in top of s c for picot, 8 s c over next loop, skip 1st s c, s c in next s c, picot, * 8 s c over next loop, s c in next d tr c, picot, 8 s c over next loop, skip 1 s c, s c in next s c, picot, 8 s c over next loop, skip 1 s c, s c in next s c, picot, repeat from * all around working 4 s c over each of the 4 ch loops at corner and working a picot in center st at corner. Work all cor­ners same as 1st corner.

Outside Edge.Attach thread in 2nd free loop of 1st flower to right of joining and work 9 s c over loop, * s c in next picot loop, ch 3, sl st in last s c for picot, 5 s c over next loop, ch 9, turn, sl st in center of previous scallop, ch 1, turn and work 4 s c, picot, 2 s c, picot, 2 s c, picot, 4 s c over loop just made, sl st in top of 2nd scallop and finish that loop with 4 more s c, s c in picot loop, ch 3, sl st in last s c for picot, 5 s c over each of the next 2 loops, s c in next picot loop, ch 3, sl st in last s c for picot, 9 s c over next loop, repeat from * all around, working 3 scallops over corner flower.
