Starting at center, ch 6, join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 7 (to count as 1 tr and ch-2), * tr in ring, ch 2. Repeat from * until 19 sts are made; then, ch 2, join with sl st to 5th st of ch-6 first made (20 sps). 2nd and 3rd rnds: * Ch 5, s c in next loop. Repeat from * around. 4th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, ch 10 (to count as 1 tr and ch-5), * tr in next loop, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to 5th ch of ch-9 first made. 5th rnd: Sl st in next st, ch 5 (to count as 1 d c and ch-2), skip 1 ch, * tr in next ch, ch 2, skip 1 ch, d c in ch just before the tr, skip tr, d c in next st, ch 2, skip 1 ch. Repeat from * around. Join last d c with sl st to 3rd ch of ch-5 first made. 6th rnd: * S c in next sp, ch 5, s c in next sp, ch 3, skip the 2 d c, s c in next sp, ch 2, 2 d c in same sp, ch 2, s c in same sp, ch 2, d c in same sp, skip tr, d c in next sp, ch 2, s c in same sp, ch 2, 2 d c in same sp, ch 2, s c in same sp, ch 3, skip the 2 d c. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-3 with sl st to base of ch-5 loop first made. Break off. 7th rnd: Attach thread between 1st and 2nd d c of next scallop, ch 10 (to count as tr and ch-5), * tr at top of next scallop, ch 5, tr at top of next scallop, ch 8, s c in next ch-5 loop, ch 8, tr at top of next scallop, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-8 with sl st to 5th st of ch-10 first made.

8th rnd: Sl st to center of ch-5 loop, * ch 5, s c in next loop, repeat from * around, ending rnd with ch-2, d c at base of 1st loop made. 9th rnd: Ch 12 (to count as tr and ch-7), * tr in next loop, ch 7, tr in same loop, ch 7, tr in next loop, ch 2, skip 1 loop, tr in next loop, ch 7. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-2 to 5th ch of ch-12 first made. 10th rnd: Sl st in each of next 2 ch, ch 12 (to count as tr and ch-7), * tr in next loop, ch 7, tr in same loop, ch 7, tr in same loop, ch 7, tr in next loop, ch 2, skip ch-2 loop, tr in next loop, ch 7. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-2 to 5th ch of ch-12 first made. 11th rnd: Sl st in each of next 2 ch, ch 12 (to count as tr and ch-7), * tr in next loop, ch 7, tr in same loop, ch 7, tr in next loop, ch 7, tr in same loop, ch 7, tr in next loop, skip ch-2 loop, tr in next loop, ch 7. Repeat from * around. After last tr is made, join with sl st to 5th ch of ch-12 first made. 12th rnd: Sl st in each of next 2 ch, ch 12 (to count as tr and ch-7), * tr in next loop (between the 2 tr), ch 7, tr in next loop, ch 7, tr in same loop, ch 7, tr in same loop, ch 7, tr in next loop, ch 7, tr in next loop, ch 2, skip 2 tr, tr in next loop, ch 7. Repeat from * around. Join as usual. 13th rnd: Sl st in each of next 2 ch, ch 12, * tr in next loop, ch 7, tr in next loop, ch 7, tr in same loop, ch 7, tr in next loop, ch 7, tr in same loop, ch 7, tr in next loop, ch 7, tr in next loop, skip ch-2 loop, tr in next loop, ch 7. Repeat from * around. Join as usual. 14th rnd: 8 s c in each of next 2 ch-7 loops, * 5 s c in next loop, ch 1; in next loop make 8 d c with ch-1 between d c's, ch 1, 4 s c in next loop, 8 s c in each of next 4 loops. Repeat from * around. 15th rnd: S c in each of next 12 s c (picking up only the back loop of s c's), * ch 1, ch-4 p, skip 4 s c, d c in next s c, ch 1, ch-4 p, skip 4 s c, d c in next ch-1 sp. In each of next 8 ch-1 sp's make: 1 d c, ch 1, and 1 p. Then ch 1, 1 p, skip 4 s c, d c in next s c, ch 1, 1 p, skip 4 s c, s c in each of next 24 s c. Repeat from * around. Break off.
