Now follow chart, starting at 4th row, always working to center of row as on chart (chart shows only the first half of each row) ; then omitting the center sp or pc st-bl, as the case may be, follow chart back to the beginning of row. When 24th row has been completed, work as follows: Ch 5, turn. 25th row: 2 sps, 1 pc st, 2 sps, 5 pc sts, 9 sps, 1 pc st, 28 sps, make a bl over next sp—to make a bl, make 2 d c in sp, d c in next d c; 11 sps, 1 bl, 25 sps, 1 bl, 16 sps, 3 bls, 21 sps, 1 bl, 20 sps, 1 bl, 19 sps, 6 bls, 11 sps, 6 bls, 19 sps, 1 bl, 20 sps, 1 bl, 21 sps, 3 bls, 16 sps, 1 bl, 25 sps, 1 bl, 11 sps, 1 bl, 28 sps, 1 pc st, 9 sps, 5 pc sts, 2 sps, 1 pc st, 2 sps.

Next row: Mark off the center 119 sps. Continue bedspread as before, following Chart Two when working across the center 119 sps. Continue thus, until top of Chart Two is reached. Work scallop design, floral borders and all-over pattern as before, until 408 rows are complete. Do not fasten off but work s c all around, keeping work flat. Fasten off. Block to measure 90 x 108 inches.
