FOLLOWING FLOWER … Work as for 1st rnd of Flower. 2nd rnd: Work as before, joining first 2 petals to preceding Flower and to adjacent picot on First Flower Motif. Complete rnd, joining to First Flower of motif in work as before, leaving 1 petal free on inner edge. Work Fill-In-Motif as before.

Make another Flower Motif in same way, joining to Second Flower Motif as Second Flower Motif was joined to First Flower Motif, leaving 2 picots free on Second Flower Motif to form curve. Attach Nile Green to joining between Second and Third Flowers on outer edge, sc in same place, ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, in next picot make sc, ch 5 and sc; ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, sc in next joining, (ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, in next picot make sc, ch 5 and sc) twice; ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, sc in next joining. Work in pattern around remaining Flowers. Join and break off.
Make 3 more Motifs for other end of Runner in same way.

Make 20 single Flowers for sides of Runner.
