Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in 1st sc made. 3rd rnd: Ch 5 (to count as d tr), holding back the last loop of each d tr on hook make 3 d tr in loop, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (4-d tr cluster made), * ch 9, make a 4-d tr cluster in next loop. Repeat from * around, joining last ch-9 to tip of 1st cluster. 4th rnd: Ch 6, dc in same place as sl st, * ch 4, dc in center st of ch-9, ch 4, in tip of next cluster make dc, ch 3 and dc. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st in 3rd st of ch-6. 5th rnd: Sl st in next ch, sc in sp, ch 6, dc in same sp, * ch 4, sk 2 ch, dc in next ch, ch 3, sk next ch, the dc and the following ch, dc in next ch, ch 4, in next ch-3 sp make dc, ch 3 and dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 6th rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, * 3 sc in next sp, sc in next dc, 5 sc in next sp, sc in next dc, 3 sc in next sp, sc in next dc, 5 sc in next sp, sc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 7th rnd: Sl st in next 2 sc, ch 11 (to count as tr and ch 7), * sk 7 sc, dc in next 5 sc, ch 7, sk 7 sc, tr in next sc, ch 7. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-7 with sl st in 4th st of ch-11. 8th rnd: Ch 6, in same place as sl st make dc, ch 3 and dc, * ch 5, sk 1 dc, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, in next tr make (dc, ch 3) twice and dc. Repeat from * around. Join.
   9th rnd: Ch 7, dc in next dc, * ch 4, dc in next dc, ch 5, make a 2-dc cluster in center st of 3-dc group, ch 5, dc in next dc, ch 4, dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 10th rnd: Ch 8, * 3 tr in next dc, ch 5, dc in next dc, ch 5, make a 2-dc cluster in tip of next cluster, ch 5, dc in next dc, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join to 3rd st of ch-8. 11th rnd: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, in center tr of next tr-group make tr, ch 5 and tr, ch 5, 2 dc in next dc, ch 5, sc in tip of cluster, ch 5, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 12th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next dc, * ch 5, sk next sp, in next sp make five 2-d tr clusters with ch-5 between, ch 5, dc in next 2 dc, ch 4, (sc in next sp) twice; ch 4, dc in next 2 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 13th rnd: Sl st in next dc and next 2 ch, ch 1, sc in sp, ch 5, sc in same sp, * (ch 3, in next sp make sc, ch 5 and sc) 5 times; ch 4, (sc in next sp) twice; ch 4, in next sp make sc, ch 5 and sc. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-4 to 1st sc made. 14th rnd: Sl st in next 2 ch, ch 1, sc in loop, ch 5, sc in same loop, * (ch 4, in next ch-5 loop make sc, ch 5 and sc) 5 times; ch 4, (sc in next sp) twice; ch 4, in next loop make sc, ch 5 and sc. Repeat from * around. Join. 15th rnd: Sl st in next 2 ch, ch 1, sc in loop, ch 5, sc in same loop, * (ch 5, in next loop make sc, ch 5 and sc) 5 times; ch 3, (sc in next sp) twice; ch 3, in next loop make sc, ch 5 and sc. Repeat from * around. Join. 16th rnd: Sl st in next 2 ch, ch 1, sc in loop, * (ch 6, in next loop make sc, ch 5 and sc) 4 times; ch 6, sc in each of next 2 ch-5 loops. Repeat from * around.
