FIRST MOTIF … Starting at center, ch 12. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: (Sc in ring, ch 20, sc in ring, ch 5) 3 times; sc in ring, ch 20, sc in ring, ch 2, dc in first sc. 2nd rnd: Ch 3, * 25 dc in next ch-20 loop, dc in next ch-5 loop. Repeat from * around. Join to top of ch-3. 3rd rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, picking up back loop of each dc, skip first 5 dc, sc in next 7 dc, in next dc make sc, ch 3 and sc; sc in next 7 dc, ch 5, skip next 5 dc, sc in next dc. Repeat from * around, end­ing with ch 5. Join to first sc. 4th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, ch 10, * picking up back loop only of each sc, skip next 3 sc, sc in next 5 sc, in next loop make sc, ch 3 and sc; sc in next 5 sc, ch 7, 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 7. Repeat from * around, ending with dc in last loop. Join to 3rd ch of ch-10. 5th rnd: Sl st in next loop, ch 3, make 6 dc in same loop, * ch 7, picking up back loop only of each sc, skip first 3 sc, sc in next 3 sc, in next loop make sc, ch 5 and sc; sc in next 3 sc, ch 7, make 7 dc in next loop, ch 3, 7 dc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3. Join to top of ch-3. 6th rnd: Ch 4, * (dc in next dc, ch 1) 5 times; dc in next dc, ch 5, dc in next loop, ch 5, in next loop make 2 dc, ch 5 and 2 dc; ch 5, dc in next loop, ch 5, (dc in next dc, ch 1) 6 times; dc in next dc, dc in first dc of next dc group, ch 1. Repeat from * around. Join to 3rd ch of ch-4. 7th rnd: Sl st in next sp, sc in same sp, * (ch 3, sc in next sp) 5 times; ch 5, make a joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 5, in next sp make 2 dc, ch 5 and 2 dc; ch 5, make joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 5, sc in next sp, (ch 3, sc in next sp) 5 times; ch 2, sc in first ch-1 sp of next group. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2. Join. 8th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same place, * (ch 3, sc in next loop) 4 times; ch 5, make joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 5, in next sp make 2 dc, ch 5 and 2 dc; ch 5, make joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 5, sc in next loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 4 times; ch 3, sc in next ch-3 loop on next pineapple. Repeat from * around. Join. 9th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same place, * (ch 3, sc in next loop) 3 times; ch 5, make joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 5, dc in next 2 dc, in next sp make 2 dc, ch 5 and 2 dc; dc in next 2 dc, ch 5, make joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 5, sc in next loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 3 times; ch 5, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join.
   10th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same place, * (ch 3, sc in next loop) twice; ch 5, make joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 5, dc in next 4 dc, in next loop make 2 dc, ch 5 and 2 dc; dc in next 4 dc, ch 5, make joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 5, sc in next loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) twice; ch 5, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 11th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same place, * ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 5, make joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 5, dc in next 6 dc, in next loop make 2 dc, ch 5 and 2 dc; dc in next 6 dc, ch 5, make joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 5, sc in next loop, ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 7, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 12th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same place, * ch 5, make joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 7, dc in next 3 dc, ch 9, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr, make 2 tr in next ch-5 loop, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made), in same ch-5 loop make (ch 7 and cluster) twice; ch 9, skip next 5 dc, dc in next 3 dc, ch 7, make joint dc over next 2 sps, ch 5, sc in next loop, ch 9, sc in next loop.
