Materials: Clark's O.N.T. or J. & P. Coats Mercer­ized Crochet, Size 30, 1 ball each of White and 88 Peach. Milward's steel crochet hook No. 9.

With White, ch 8, join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 4, 23 tr in ring. Join with sl st to 4th st of ch-4. 2nd rnd: Ch 3, d c in each of next 2 sts, * ch 2, d c in next st, ch 2, skip 1 st, d c in next, ch 2, d c in each of next 3 sts. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, sl st to 3rd st of ch-3. 3rd rnd: Ch 3, d c in top of ch-3 of previous rnd, * d c in each d c, 1 d c under ch-2, ch 2, d c in same place as last d c, ** ch 2, d c under next group of ch-2, repeat from ** into each sp of previous rnd, 1 d c in same place as last d c, repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, sl st to top of ch-3 at beginning of rnd. This makes 2 more d c in each group and 1 more sp.

4th to 9th rnds incl: Same as 3rd rnd. The 9th rnd will have 17 d c and 10 sps in each section. 10th rnd: Ch 5, make one 4-tr cluster working over next 4 d c. * Ch 7, skip 1 d c, 5-tr cluster working over next 5 dc *. Repeat from * to * once. ** Ch 7, 3-tr cluster over next 3 d c **. Repeat from ** to ** twice. Re­peat from * to * 3 times across solid portions and ** to ** 3 times across sps. End rnd with ch 7, sl st in 1st cluster.

11th rnd: Sl st to center of 1st ch-7, ch 8, 1 s c in next cluster, * ch 8, s c under ch-7, ch 8, s c in next clus­ter. Repeat from * until there are 14 loops, then turn, and work over these loops only. Next row: Sl st to center of 1st loop, * ch 8, s c under next loop, repeat from * across. (This makes 1 less loop than last row.) Repeat this row until 1 loop remains. Fasten off. Attach thread to center of ch-7 between 1st 2 clusters of 5-tr on other side of circle, work to correspond from 11th rnd on. Do not fasten off after last loop is made. 12th rnd: Sl st to center of last loop. Ch 11, * begin a tr tr over end of next row, draw through 2 loops, then thread over hook, insert hook under next loop and draw through. Then work off loops 2 at a time until all loops are off hook. Ch 7, repeat from *. At the sides, work the tr tr sts, drawing through sps at each side of the clusters in the 10th rnd. Continue to the single loop at other end of oval. After ch 7, make tr in center of this single loop, ch 5, 1 tr in same place as last st, then ch 7 and continue around, ending with 1 tr in center loop, ch 5, sl st to 4th st of ch at beginning of rnd. 13th rnd: Ch 2, under each ch-7 loop work 9 s c. At end of rnd, sl st to 1st st and fasten off. 14th rnd: Attach Peach to 5th s c of a 9-s c group. * Ch 7, 3-tr tr cluster in 5th s c of next s c-group, ch 7, 1 s c in same st, ch 7, another 3-tr tr cluster in same place, ch 7, 1 s c in 5th s c of next group. Repeat from * around.

15th rnd: Sl st to top of 1st cluster, * ch 8, 1 s c in next cluster, repeat from * around. Sl st to 1st ch at beginning of round.

16th rnd: * Ch 14, skip ch 8, 1 s c in next s c, ch 7, 3 tr tr cluster in same s c, skip ch 8, 3 tr tr-cluster in next s c, ch 7, s c in same s c, repeat from * around. Fasten off. 17th rnd: Attach White to top of 2 clus­ters, * ch 9, 1 s c under ch-14 loop, ch 9, 1 s c between 2 clusters, repeat from * around. Sl st to 1st st. 18th rnd: Ch 2, 12 s c under each ch-9 loop. 19th rnd: Ch 5, * 1 d c in 3rd s c, * ch 2, skip 2 sts, d c in next, repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, sl st to 3rd st of ch-5.

20th rnd: Ch 3, * 2 d c in next sp, 1 d c in d c, repeat from * 3 times (4 bls). Ch 2, 1 d c in next d c (1 sp), repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, sl st in 3rd st of ch-3. 21st rnd: Sl st into 1st d c. Ch 3, d c in each of next 10 d c, * ch 2, d c in sp, ch 2, skip 1st d c, d c in each of next 11 d c, repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, sl st to 3rd st of ch-3. 22nd to 26th rnds incl: Same as 21st, but make 2 less d c in each group and 1 more sp each rnd. The 26th rnd will have 1 d c at top of triangle of d c.

27th rnd: Rnd of sps. 28th rnd: Ch 2, 3 s c in each sp, ending with sl st to ch-2. Fasten off. 29th rnd: Attach Peach to 2nd s c of 1st 3-s c group. * Ch 12, skip 2 groups of 3 s c, s c in 2nd st of next group, repeat from * around. 30th and 31st rnds: Sl st to top of 1st ch-12 loop, * ch 12, s c under next loop, repeat from * around. Fasten off.
