Materials: Clark's O.N.T. or J. & P. Coats Mercerized Crochet, size 30, White. Milward's steel crochet hook No. 8.

Edging: Beginning at center, ch 8, join with sl st to form ring. 1st row: Ch 4, 3-d c cluster in ring, * ch 5, 4-d c cluster in ring, repeat from * until 8 clusters are made, then ch 3, d c at tip of next cluster. 2nd row: * Ch 8, tr in next loop, ch 8, s c in next loop, repeat from * around, making last s c at tip of d c of previous row. 3rd row: 7 s c under next loop, ch-6 picot, 7 s c under same loop, ** s c in tr, ch-6 p, s c in same tr, 14 s c under next loop, s c in s c, 5 s c under next loop, ch 6, turn, sl st in 5th s c (counting toward left) of next loop, turn, 6 s c under this loop, ch-6 p, 6 s c under same loop, 3 s c under next loop, ch 17, turn, skip small loop with p just completed, sl st in 3rd s c (counting toward left) of next loop, turn, * 5 s c under this loop, ch-6 p, repeat from * until there are 3 p's on this loop, then, 5 sc under same loop, 7 s c under next (incompleted) loop, repeat from ** 2 more times, then s c in next tr, ch-6 p, s c in same tr, 7 s c under next loop, ch-6 p, 7 s c under same loop. Fasten off. Make as many motifs as necessary and join together at p's on side loops as illustrated.

Heading: Attach thread to last p made in last row of last motif, * ch 7, (or more as may be necessary to keep work flat), s c in next p of same motif, ch 6 (more if necessary), tr in next p of same motif, ch 8, thread over hook 6 times, insert hook in next p of same motif, draw out loop, thread over and draw off 2 loops at a time, 3 times, thread over 3 times, insert hook in 1st p of next motif, draw out loop, thread over and work off 2 loops, at a time until all loops are worked off, ch 8 (or more), tr in next p of same motif, ch 6 (or more), s c in next p of same motif, repeat from * to end. Make a row of sps over this ch by making d c, ch 1, skip 1 ch, d c in next, across row. Make another row by making sp over sp.

Insertion: Repeat 1st and 2nd rows of edging. 3rd row: 7 s c under next loop, ch-6 picot, 7 s c under same loop, s c in tr, ch-6 p, s c in same tr, * 14 s c under next loop, s c in s c, 5 s c under next loop, ch 6, turn, sl st in 5th s c (counting toward left) of next loop, turn, 6 s c under this loop, ch-6 p, 6 s c under same loop, 3 s c under next loop, ch 17, turn, skip small loop with p just completed, sl st in 3rd s c (counting toward left) of next loop, turn, * 5 s c under this loop, ch-6 p, repeat from * until there are 3 p's on this loop, then 5 s c under same loop, 7 s c under next (incompleted) loop, s c in tr, ch-6 p, s c in same tr, 7 s c under next loop, ch-6 p, 7 s c under same loop, s c in s c, 7 s c under next loop, ch-6 p, 7 s c under same loop, s c in tr, ch-6 p, s c in same tr, repeat from * until motif is completed and fasten off. Make as many motifs as necessary, joined together at p's on side loops as in illustration.

Heading: Same as heading of edging, but work on both sides to make insertion.
