Rnd 5—Ch 1, 1 sc in joined ch-1 sp, f ch 5, skip first ch-3 Loop of next group, work a Cluster in center ch-3 Loop of same group as follows: yo twice, draw up a loop in Loop, [yo, through 2 loops] twice, * yo twice, draw up a loop in same ch-3 Loop, [yo, thru 2 loops] twice *; rpt between * once, yo, thru all 4 loops on hook, ** ch 5; rpt between * 3 times, yo, thru all 4 loops on hook; rpt from ** once, ch 5, skip next ch-3 Loop of same group, 1 sc in next ch-1 sp between groups (Cluster made); rpt from † around, ending with ch-5, join (6 Clusters), fasten off. Rnd 6—With A 1 tr in top of first Petal of any Cluster (of rnd 5), * ch 7, 1 sc in next ch-5 Loop of same Cluster, ch 7, skip next Petal, 1 sc in next ch-5 Loop, ch 7, 1 tr in top of next Petal, 1 tr in top of first Petal of next Cluster; rpt from * around, ending with 1 tr, join in first tr. Rnd 7—Slip st in first ch of next Loop, ch 1, 1 sc in next ch of same Loop, work a Picot Loop as follows: ch 6, slip st in 5th ch from hook, ch 8, slip st in 5th ch from hook, ch 2 (Picot Loop made), skip next 3 chs, 1 sc in next ch, a Picot Loop, * 1 sc in 2nd ch of next Loop, a Picot Loop, skip next 3 chs, 1 sc in next ch, a Picot Loop; rpt from * around, join (36 Picot Loops). Rnd 8—Slip st to center of next Picot Loop, 1 sc in center of Loop, a Picot Loop, * 1 sc in center of next Picot Loop, a Picot Loop; rpt from * around, join. Work must measure 4-inches across center. Rpt rnd 8 seven times. Rnd 16—Slip st to center of next Loop, 1 sc in Loop, a Picot Loop, 1 sc in center of next Picot Loop: to join Pansy ring, ch 6, slip st in 5th ch from hook, ch 2, drop loop from hook, pick up Pansy ring, insert hook down thru marked Picot of any Pansy and draw dropped loop thru, ch 6, slip st in 5th ch from hook, ch 2, 1 sc in center of next Picot Loop, a Picot Loop, 1 sc in center of next Picot Loop, ch 6, slip st in 5th ch from hook, ch 2, drop loop from hook, insert hook in marked Picot of next Pansy and draw dropped loop thru, ch 6, slip st in 5th ch from hook, ch 2, 1 sc in center of next Picot Loop; work and join Pansies in same way around, join, fasten off. Block and press. Pad with quilted or other suitable lining.
