Join with sl st to top of starting chain. 2nd rnd: Ch 7, skip 1 dc, tr in next dc, * ch 3, skip 1 dc, tr in next dc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, sl st in 4th ch of starting chain. 3rd rnd: Sl st in next sp, ch 4, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr make 6 tr in same sp, thread over hook and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made); * ch 7, make a 7-tr cluster in next sp. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 4, tr in tip of first cluster. 4th rnd: * Ch 10, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, d tr in tr. 5th rnd: Ch 11, tr in next loop, ch 3, tr in same loop, * ch 7, in next loop make tr, ch 3 and tr. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 1, half dc in 7th ch of starting chain. 6th rnd: Sc in sp formed by ch-1 and the half dc, * ch 7, in next loop make tr, ch 5 and tr; ch 7, sc in next ch-3 sp. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 7, sl st in first sc. 7th rnd: Sl st in next 7 ch, sl st in next sp, ch 4, make a 4-tr cluster in same sp, * (ch 5, make 5-tr cluster in same sp) twice; ch 9, 5-tr cluster in next ch-3 sp. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 9, sl st in tip of first cluster. 8th rnd: Sl st to center of first ch-5 loop, sc in same loop, * ch 7, sc in next ch-5 loop, ch 7, sc in next ch-9 loop, ch 7, sc in next ch-5 loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, tr in first sc.
   9th rnd: * Ch 7, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, tr in tr. 10th rnd: * Ch 9, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 4, d tr in tr. 11th rnd: Repeat 10th rnd, ending with ch 4, d tr in d tr. 12th rnd: * Ch 12, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 12, sl st in d tr. 13th rnd: Sl st in next 6 ch, ch 4, 2 tr in same place as last sl st, * ch 3, 3 tr in next ch, ch 5, 4 tr in 6th ch and 5 tr in 7th ch of next loop, ch 5, 3 tr in 6th ch of next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, sl st in top of starting chain. 14th rnd: Sl st in next 2 tr, sl st in next ch-3 sp, ch 4, 2 tr in same sp, * ch 3, 3 tr in same sp (shell made over shell), ch 5, (tr in next tr, ch 1) 8 times; tr in next tr, ch 5, 3 tr in next ch-3 sp. Repeat from * around. Join. 15th rnd: Sl st to next ch-3 sp, ch 4 and complete shell as before, * ch 5, sc in next ch-1 sp, (ch 5, sc in next sp) 7 times; ch 5, in next ch-3 sp make 3 tr, ch 3 and 3 tr (shell over shell). Repeat from * around. Join. 16th rnd: Sl st to first ch-3 sp, ch 4 and complete shell as before, * ch 5, skip next ch-5, sc in next ch-5 loop, (ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop) 6 times; ch 5, shell over shell. Repeat from * around. Join. 17th rnd: * Make shell over shell as before, ch 5, skip next ch-5, sc in next ch-5 loop, (ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop) 5 times; ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join. 18th rnd: * Shell over shell, ch 5, skip next ch-5, sc in next ch-5 loop, (ch 5, sc in next loop) 4 times; ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join.
   19th rnd: Sl st to next ch-3 sp, ch 4, in same sp make 2 tr, (ch 3, 3 tr) twice; * ch 5, skip next ch-5, sc in next ch-5 loop, (ch 5, sc in next loop) 3 times; ch 5, in sp of next shell make (3 tr, ch 3) twice and 3 tr. Repeat from * around.
