Repeat from * around. Join last ch-7 with sl st to first sc. 3rd rnd: Sl st in next 3 ch, sc in same loop, * ch 5, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr make tr in same loop as last sc and tr in next loop, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (a joint tr made), ch 5, sl st in tip of joint tr (picot made), ch 5, sc in same loop as last tr of the joint tr was made. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-5 with sl st to first sc. 4th rnd: Sl st to next picot, sc in same picot, * ch 8, make a joint long tr (5 times over hook), having 1 long tr in same picot as last sc, and the other long tr in the next picot; make a ch-5 picot as before, ch 8, sc in same picot as last long tr of joint long tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 5th rnd: Sl st to next picot, sl st in picot, ch 5, 9 d tr in same picot, * ch 9, 10 d tr in next picot. Repeat from * around. Join.
