ROYAL SOCIETY SIX CORD CORDICHET

If made in size 30, motif will measure 3⅛ inches between opposite points.

Starting at center, ch 6. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 5, * dc in ring, ch 2. Repeat from * until 7 sps are made. Join last ch-2 to 3rd st of ch-5 (8 sps in all). 2nd rnd: Ch 1, * 5 sc in sp, insert hook in same sp from front of work and bring it out in next sp (from back of work), thread over and draw loop through, thread over and draw through both loops on hook (a raised sc made). Repeat from * around, ending with a raised sc, sl st in 1st sc made. 3rd rnd: Ch 1, * sc in next 4 sc, insert hook in next st from front of work and bring it out in next st from back of work, thread over and complete raised sc as before. Repeat from * around. Join. 4th rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, sc in next 3 sc, * make a raised sc over a raised sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc. Repeat from * around. Join. 5th rnd: Ch 3 (to count as dc), * sc in next 2 sc, dc in next sc, ch 5, sk the raised sc, dc in next sc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, sl st in top st of ch-3. 6th rnd: Ch 3, * holding back on hook the last loop of each dc make dc in next 2 sc, thread over, insert hook (from front of work) between 2nd sc below and next dc and bring it out from back of work in next sp, thread over and draw loop through, thread over and draw through 2 loops, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made); ch 5, sc in sp, ch 5, thread over, insert hook in sp (from right of work) and bring it out between dc and sc (from back of work), thread over and draw loop through, thread over and draw through 2 loops on hook. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, sl st in tip of 1st cluster made. 7th rnd: Ch 8, * sc in next loop, sc in next sc, sc in next loop, ch 5, dc in tip of next cluster, ch 5. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, sl st in 3rd st of ch-8. 8th rnd: Ch 10, * sc in center sc of next 3-sc group, ch 7, dc in next dc, ch 7. Repeat from * around, ending with ch-7, sl st in 3rd st of ch-10. 9th rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, * 10 sc in loop, sc in next sc, 10 sc in next loop, sc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st in 1st sc made. 10th rnd: Ch 6, dc in same place as sl st, * (ch 2, sk 2 sc, dc in next sc) 3 times; (sk 1 sc, dc in next sc) twice; (ch 2, sk 2 sc, dc in next sc) 3 times; ch 3, dc in same place as last dc. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-2 with sl st to 3rd st of ch-6. Fasten off.

   If you wish to make several of these motifs, join them at two adjacent points.
