Work is now done in rnds. 1st rnd: Ch 1, 2 s c in same place as sl st, 2 s c in next sp, s c in next st; (s c in next ch-1, s c in next st) 7 times; 2 s c in ch-5, 3 s c in 3rd ch of same ch-5, 2 s c in same ch-5, s c in next st; (s c in next ch-1, s c in next st) 7 times; 2 s c in ch-5, sl st in 1st ch. 2nd rnd: Ch 1, s c in next (end) s c; make a p as fol­lows: Ch 6, s c in 5th ch from hook; make 3 more p's, ch 13, remove hook, insert it in 2nd ch from last p made and draw loop of chain through; into loop just made make s c, half d c, and 3 d c; ch 5, sl st in last d c—a p made; (3 d c in loop, p) 4 times; make 3 d c, half d c and s c in same loop, sl st at base of loop; (p, s c between next 2 p's) 3 times; ch-5 p, s c over next ch-1, sl st in last s c of oval, s c in same place as sl st, s c in next 2 s c; * (ch 1, p) 4 times, ch 13, remove hook, in­sert it in 2nd ch from last p made and draw last ch through; into loop just made make s c, half d c and 3 d c; sl st in last p of previous ch-13 loop; into second ch-13 loop make (3 d c, p) 4 times; make 3 d c, half d c and s c in same loop; sl st at base of loop; (ch-5 p, s c between next 2 p's) 3 times; ch-5 p, s c in next ch-1, between next p and oval; sl st in last s c of oval, s c in next 4 s c. Repeat from * 2 more times, but make 5 s c instead of 4 s c between p-loops. Make another p-loop, ending with 4 s c; make another p-loop, ending with 2 s c; make another p-loop, and work other half of rnd to correspond with first half, joining 1st and last p's of p-loop, in order to complete joinings of motif (12 loops in rnd). Fasten off.

   Make another motif like this, joining the center p of center p-loop at one side to corresponding p of 1st motif.

   Make 3 more motifs, joining as second was joined to first.

First Motif of Second Strip … Work as for second motif of first strip, joining the 2nd and 3rd p's of 2nd p-loop to 6th and 7th free p's (counting from joining) on second motif of first strip; also joining 3rd and 4th p's of last p-loop to 6th and 7th free p's of first motif of first strip. Join last p to 1st p made and complete the rnd.

Second Motif … Join to second and third motifs, as first motif was joined to first and second motifs; also join center p of center loop to corresponding p of first motif of second strip. Continue in this manner until there are 4 motifs on 2nd strip. Make 4 motifs for 3rd strip, alternating and joining them as before to opposite side of first strip.

   Fill in all spaces between motifs as follows: Attach thread to center p of one free loop; (ch 8, s c in center p of next free loop) twice; ch 6, sl st in p where thread was attached. Fasten off.
