Sl st in 4th ch. 3rd rnd: Ch 4, tr in each tr around, sl st in 4th ch. 4th rnd: Ch 5, * tr in next tr, ch 1. Repeat from * around. Sl st in 4th st of ch-5. 5th rnd: Ch 6, * tr in next tr, ch 2. Repeat from * around. Sl st in 4th st of ch-6. 6th rnd: Sc in 1st ch-2 sp, ch 6, sc in 4th ch from hook (p), ch 3, p, * ch 2, skip 2 sps, sc in next sp, ch 2, p, ch 3, p. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, skip 2 sps, sl st in 1st sc. 7th rnd: Sl st in 1st 3 sts of next loop, sl st in loop, ch 4, 2 tr in same loop, * ch 3, 3 tr in same loop, ch 3, 6 tr in center of next loop, ch 3, 3 tr in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, sl st in 4th st of ch-4. 8th rnd: Sl st in next 2 tr, sl st in ch-3 sp, ch 4, 2 tr in same sp, * ch 3, 3 tr in same sp, ch 4, tr in 6 tr, ch 4, skip 1 sp, 3 tr in next sp. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 4. Join. 9th rnd: Sl st in next 2 tr, sl st in ch-3 sp, ch 4, 2 tr in same sp, ch 3, 3 tr in same place (shell over shell made—1st shell at beginning of the following rnds is made in the same manner), * ch 4, (tr in next tr, ch 1) 5 times; tr in next tr, ch 4, in next ch-3 sp make 3 tr, ch 3 and 3 tr (another shell made). Repeat from * around, ending with ch 4. Join. 10th rnd: * Shell over shell, ch 5, (tr in next tr, ch 1) 5 times; tr in next tr, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join. 11th rnd: * Shell over shell, ch 5, (tr in next ch-1 sp, ch 4) 4 times; tr in next ch-1 sp, ch 5. Repeat from * around.

Join. 13th rnd: * Shell over shell, ch 7, (tr in next ch-5 loop, ch 6) twice; tr in next loop, ch 7. Repeat from * around. Join. 14th rnd: * Shell over shell, ch 11, tr in ch-6 loop, ch 6, tr in next loop, ch 11. Repeat from * around. Join. 15th rnd: Sl st in next 2 tr, sl st in next ch, sc in sp, * (ch 2, ch-4 p) twice; ch 1 (p-loop made), sc in ch-11 loop, make another p-loop, sc in same loop; make another p-loop, sc in next sp. Repeat from * around. Fasten off.
   16th rnd: Petals are made individually as follows: First Petal: 1st row: Starting at center, ch 10, sc in 3rd ch from hook and in each of next 6 ch, 3 sc in last ch, and working along opposite side of foundation ch make sc in next 7 ch, sc in turning ch, ch 2, turn. Hereafter pick up only the back loop of each sc throughout. 2nd to 5th rows incl: Skip 1 sc, sc in each sc to center of 3 sc group, 3 sc in center sc, sc in each sc across, sc in turning ch. Ch 2, turn. 6th row: Skip 1 sc, sc in each sc to center sc at base of petal, sc in center of p-loop on 15th rnd, sc in same place as last sc on petal, sc in each sc across, sc in turning ch. Fasten off. Second Petal: 1st to 5th rows incl: Repeat 1st to 5th rows of 1st petal, ending with ch 1. 6th row: Sl st in last sc of 1st petal, ch 1, skip 1 sc, and complete as for 1st petal joining base of petal as before to 2nd loop following the one where 1st petal was joined. Work in this manner around, always joining petals to previous one and to loops on 15th rnd always skipping a loop between petals. Join last petal to 1st petal made. Do not fasten off at end of rnd. 17th rnd: Sc between two petals, * make a p-loop, skip 3 rows of petal, sc in next row, make another p-loop, skip 4 rows of petal, sc in next row, make another p-loop, sc in sp between petals. Repeat from * around. 18th and 19th rnds: Sl st to center of loop, * make a p-loop, sc in center of next p-loop. Repeat from * around. Fasten off at end of 19th rnd. 20th rnd: Work as for 16th rnd but having 8 rows of sc on each petal (instead of 6 rows) and skipping 2 loops (instead of one loop) when joining to previous rnd. 21st rnd: Sc between two petals, * make a p-loop, skip 3 rows of petal, sc in next row, make a p-loop, skip 4 rows of petal, sc in foundation ch of petal, make a p-loop, skip 4 rows of petal, sc in next row, make a p-loop, skip 3 rows of petal, sc between petals. Repeat from * around. 22nd to 26th rnd: Repeat 18th rnd, ending last rnd with sl st in center of first p-loop.

PLACE MATS (Make 4) … Work as for Centerpiece to 19th rnd incl. Then work 2 more rnds of loops as before. Fasten off.
