Edging Pattern #8404

MOTIFS … Starting at center, ch 22. Join with sl st to form a ring. 1st rnd: 44 s c in ring. 2nd rnd: * Ch 5, s c in next s c, ch 5, s c in same s c, ch 5, s c in each of next 10 s c. Repeat from * around. 3rd rnd: Sl st in each of next 3 ch of ch-5 loop, * ch 3, in next loop make s c, ch 5 and s c. Ch 3, s c in next loop, ch 3, s c in next loop. Repeat from * around. Fasten off. Make another motif same as this to within 3rd rnd.
   3rd rnd: Sl st in each of next 3 ch of ch-5 loop, * ch 3, s c in next loop, ch 2, sl st in ch-5 loop of 1st motif, ch 2, s c back in same ch-5 of 2nd motif and complete as for 3rd rnd of previous motif. Fasten off. Make the necessary number of motifs for desired length, joining to previous motif as 2nd was joined to 1st, leaving 1 point free between joinings.

HEADING … 1st row: Attach thread to free loop next to corner loop and in line with joining. Ch 10, d c in next loop, ch 2, s c in next center loop, * ch 2, d c in next loop, ch 4, tr tr in next ch-3 loop, tr tr in corresponding loop of next motif, ch 4, d c in next loop, ch 2, s c in next loop. Repeat from * across, ending row with tr tr in loop next to corner loop. Ch 1, turn. 2nd row: 6 s c in 1st sp, s c in d c, 3 s c in next sp, s c in next s c, * 3 s c in next sp, s c in next d c, 6 s c in next sp, s c in each of next 2 tr tr, 6 s c in next sp, s c in next d c, 3 s c in next sp, s c in next s c. Repeat from * across. Ch 3, turn. 3rd row: * Skip 3 s c, d c in next s c, ch 3, d c in same place as last d c. Repeat from * across, ending row with skip 3 s c, d c in last s c. Ch 1, turn. 4th row: S c in d c, * 2 s c in sp, s c in each of 2 d c. Repeat from * across. Fasten off.
