Join to top of turning ch-3. 2nd rnd: Ch 9, in next d c make s c, ch 9, and s c; then ch 9, s c in next d c, (ch 9, skip 3 d c, s c in next d c) 15 times; ch 9, in next d c make s c, ch 9, and s c; then ch 9, s c in next d c, (ch 9, skip 3 d c, s c in next d c) 14 times; ch 4, skip 3 d c, d tr at base of ch-9 first made. 3rd to 6th rnds incl: * Ch 9, s c in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 4, d tr in d tr of last rnd.

   7th rnd: Ch 2, 5 d tr in same place as last d tr, ch 2, * s c in next loop, ch 2, 5 d tr in next s c, ch 2.
