FIRST MOTIF … Starting at center, ch 10. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 4, 4 tr in ring, (ch 10, 5 tr in ring) 3 times; ch 5, d tr in top of ch-4. 2nd rnd: Ch 3 (to count as dc), 2 dc in loop just formed, * ch 7, sc in center tr of next tr group, ch 7, in next loop make 3 dc, ch 5 and 3 dc. Repeat from * around, ending with 3 dc in same place as first 2 dc, ch 2, dc in top of ch-3. 3rd rnd: Ch 3, 2 dc in sp just formed, * ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, holding back on hook the last loop of each dc, make dc in next 2 loops, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (joint dc made), ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, 3 dc in next sp. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, half dc in top of ch-3. 4th rnd: Sc in sp just formed, * ch 5, sc in next sp, ch 5, 5 tr in each of next 2 sps, ch 5, sc in next sp. Re­peat from * around. Join to first sc. 5th rnd: Sl st in next 2 ch and in loop, ch 3, in same loop make 2 dc, ch 5 and 3 dc; * ch 5, (tr in next tr, ch 1) 9 times; tr in next tr, ch 5, skip next sp, in next loop make 3 dc, ch 5 and 3 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 6th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, * ch 5, 3 dc in next sp, ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, (sc in next ch-1 sp, ch 3) 8 times; sc in next sp, ch 5, dc in next 3 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 7th rnd: Ch 3, dc next 2 dc, * (ch 5, sc in next sp) twice; ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, skip next sp, (sc in next loop, ch 3) 7 times; sc in next loop, ch 5, dc in next 3 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 8th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, * ch 5, sc in next sp, ch 5, in next loop make 3 dc, ch 5 and 3 dc; ch 5, sc in next sp, ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, skip next sp, (sc in next loop, ch 3) 6 times; sc in next loop, ch 5, dc in next 3 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 9th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, * (ch 5, sc in next loop) twice; ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, 3 dc in next sp, ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, (ch 5, sc in next loop) twice; ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, skip next sp, (sc in next loop, ch 3) 5 times; sc in next loop, ch 5, dc in next 3 dc. Repeat from * around. Join.
   10th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, * (ch 5, sc in next loop) 3 times; ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, (ch 5, sc in next sp) twice; ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, (ch 5, sc in next loop) 3 times; ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, skip next sp, (sc in next loop, ch 3) 4 times; sc in next loop, ch 5, dc in next 3 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 11th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, * (ch 5, sc in next loop) 4 times; ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, sc in next loop, ch 5, in next loop make 3 dc, ch 5 and 3 dc; ch 5, sc in next loop, ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, (ch 5, sc in next loop) 4 times; ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 7, skip next sp, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr, make tr in next 4 loops, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (joint tr cluster made); ch 7, dc in next 3 dc. Repeat from * around. Join and break off.

SECOND MOTIF … Work as for First Motif until 10 rnds have been com­pleted. 11th rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, (ch 5, sc in next loop) 4 times; ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, sc in next loop, ch 5, 3 dc in next loop, ch 2, sl st in any corner loop on First Motif, ch 2, 3 dc in same loop on Second Motif, ch 2, sl st in next loop on First Mo­tif, ch 2, sc in next loop on Second Motif, ch 2, sl st in next loop on First Motif, ch 2, dc in next 3 dc on Sec­ond Motif, (ch 2, sl st in next loop on First Motif, ch 2, sc in next loop on Second Motif) 4 times; ch 2, sl st in next loop on First Motif, ch 2, dc in next 3 dc on Second Motif, ch 3, sl st in next loop on First Motif, ch 3, make a joint tr cluster over next 4 ch-3 loops on Second Motif, ch 3, sl st in next loop on First Motif, ch 3, dc in next 3 dc on Second Motif, ch 2. Complete rnd, joining next 7 loops and corner loop as before.
   Make desired number of motifs, join­ing adjacent sides as Second Motif was joined to First Motif (where 4 corners meet, join 3rd and 4th corners to join­ing of previous 2 corners).
