Join last ch-1 with sl st to 3rd st of ch-4 first made (16 sps). 3rd rnd: Ch 3, d c in same st as sl st, * ch 4, skip next d c, 2 d c in next d c. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-4 with sl st to 3rd st of ch-3 first made (8 groups of 2-d c). 4th rnd: Sl st in next d c, ch 3 (to count as d c), * 2 d c in next loop, ch 5, skip 1st d c of next 2-d c group, d c in next d c of same group.

Repeat from * around. Join last ch-7 with sl st as before. 7th, 8th and 9th rnds: Continue in this manner, always skipping the 1st d c of each d c-group and making 2 increases in each d c-group, also on 7th rnd making ch-8 loops; on 8th rnd, ch-9 loops; on 9th rnd, ch-10 loops (8 d c in each group on 9th rnd). Join with sl st. 10th rnd: Sl st in each of next 2 d c, ch 3 (to count as d c), d c in each of next 5 d c, * ch 6, s c in next loop, ch 6, skip 1st 2 d c of next d c-group, d c in each of next 6 d c, ch 10, s c in next loop, ch 10, skip 1st 2 d c of next d c-group, d c in each of next 6 d c, repeat from * around. Join with sl st. 11th rnd: Sl st in each of next 2 d c, ch 3, d c in each of next 3 d c, * ch 7, s c in next loop, s c in following loop, ch 7, skip 1st 2 d c of next d c-group, d c in each of next 4 d c, ch 6, 4 d c in next loop, ch 10, 4 d c in next loop, ch 6, skip 1st 2 d c of next d c-group, d c in each of next 4 d c.

Repeat from * around. Join with sl st. Break off.

Second Block. Work as for First Block to 11th rnd incl. 12th rnd: Sl st in each of next 2 d c, ch 3, d c in next d c, ch 11, s c between the 2-s c of previous rnd, ch 11, skip 1st 2 d c of next d c-group, d c in each of next 2 d c, ch 7, 4 d c in next loop, ch 7, 4 d c in following loop, ch 5, s c in corner loop of First Block (always keeping right side of work on top), ch 5, 4 d c in same loop back on Second Block, ch 3, s c in next ch-7 loop of First Block, ch 3, 4 d c in next loop on Second Block, ch 3, s c in next loop on First Block, ch 3, skip 1st 2 d c of d c-group on Second Block and make d c in each of next 2 d c, ch 5, s c in next ch-11 loop on First Block, ch 5, s c between the 2-s c on Second Block, ch 5, s c in ch-11 loop on First Block, ch 5, skip 1st 2 d c of d c-group on Second Block and make d c in each of next 2 d c, ch 3, s c in next loop on First Block, ch 3, 4 d c in next loop back on Second Block, ch 3, s c in next loop on First Block, ch 3, 4 d c in next loop on Second Block, ch 5, s c in corner loop on First Block, ch 5, 4 d c in same loop on Second Block, ch 7, 4 d c in next loop on Second Block. Continue this rnd as in First Block with no more joinings. Break off. Make 23 more blocks, joining each block to previous one as Second Block was joined to First Block, making a strip of 24 blocks.

Make second strip as follows:

First Block of Second Strip. Work as for Second Block of first strip and join, as before, to First Block alongside of first strip. Second Block. Work as before to 11th rnd incl. 12th rnd: Work as for 12th rnd of previous blocks, but join to the two adjacent blocks and complete rnd. Work next 22 blocks of this strip joining thus to adjacent two blocks. Make 16 more strips of blocks and join as before.

Edging. 1st rnd: Attach thread to ch-7 loop just before a corner, ch 11, s c in corner loop, ch 15, s c in same corner loop, * ch 11, s c in next loop.
