ROYAL PERLÉ, Size 5
Make a chain slightly longer than length desired. 1st row: Dc in 6th ch from hook, * ch 1, sk 1 ch, dc in next ch. Repeat from * across for length desired (number of sps must be a multiple of 8 plus 1). Ch 4, turn. Cut off remaining chain. 2nd row: Dc in next dc, * ch 1, dc in next dc. Repeat from * across, ending with ch 1, sk 1 ch, dc in next ch. Ch 4, turn. 3rd row: Same as 2nd row. Ch 3, turn. 4th row: (Dc in next sp, dc in next dc) twice; * ch 5, sk 3 sps, tr in next sp, ch 5, sk 2 dc, dc in next dc, (dc in next sp, dc in next dc) 3 times. Repeat from * across, ending with dc in last sp, dc in 3rd st of turning ch. Ch 3, turn. 5th row: Dc in next 3 dc, * ch 7, sc in next tr, ch 7, sk 1 dc, dc in next 5 dc. Repeat from * across, ending with dc in 3 dc and in top of turning ch. Ch 3, turn. 6th row: Dc in next 2 dc, * ch 7, in next sc work sc, ch 5 and sc; then ch 7, sk 1 dc, work dc in next 3 dc. Repeat from * across, ending with dc in 2 dc and in top of turning ch. Turn. 7th row: Sl st into next dc, ch 7, then holding back the last loop of each d tr on hook work 2 d tr in ch-5 loop, then thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made). Now (ch 3, cluster in same loop) 4 times; * ch 3, sk 1 dc, dc in next dc, ch 3, in next ch-5 loop make 5 clusters with ch-3 between. Repeat from * across, ending with dc. Turn. 8th row: Sl st in sp, sc in same sp, * (ch 5, sc in next sp) 5 times; sc in next sp. Repeat from * across. Fasten off.
