CENTERPIECE … Starting at center, ch 10. Join. 1st rnd: Ch 4 (to count as tr), 23 tr in ring, sl st in 4th st of ch-4. 2nd rnd: Ch 4, tr in same place as sl st, * ch 7, skip 3 tr, 2 tr in next tr. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-7 to 4th st of ch-4. 3rd rnd: Ch 4, tr in same place as sl st, * ch 5, 2 tr in next tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 4th rnd: Ch 4, tr in same place as sl st, * ch 3, 2 tr in next tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 5th rnd: Ch 4, tr in next tr, * ch 5, tr in next 2 tr, ch 3, tr in next 2 tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 6th rnd: Ch 4, tr in next tr, * ch 3, tr in same place as last tr, tr in next tr, ch 3, tr in same place as last tr, tr in next tr, ch 3, tr in next 2 tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 7th rnd: Ch 4, tr in next tr, * ch 3, tr in same place as last tr, skip next tr, tr in next tr, tr in next tr, ch 3, tr in same place as last tr, tr in next tr, ch 3, tr in next 2 tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 8th rnd: Ch 4, * 2 tr in next tr, ch 3, tr in same place as last tr, skip next tr, tr in next tr, skip next tr, tr in next tr, ch 3, 2 tr in same tr as last tr was made, tr in next tr, ch 3, tr in next tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 9th rnd: Ch 4, tr in next 2 tr, * ch 4, tr in same place as last tr, (skip next tr, tr in next tr) twice; ch 4, tr in same place as last tr, tr in next 2 tr, ch 3, tr in next 3 tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 10th rnd: Ch 4, tr in next 2 tr, * ch 5, d tr in same place as last tr, skip next st, tr in next tr, skip next st, d tr in next tr, ch 5, tr in same place as last d tr, tr in next 2 tr, ch 3, tr in next 3 tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 11th to 20th rnds: Repeat the 10th rnd, having 2 additional sts in ch bars (between 3 tr groups) in each successive rnd, thus increasing 24 ch's in each rnd. There should be 23 ch's between the tr groups on the 20th rnd.
   21st rnd: Ch 4, tr in next 2 tr, * in next tr make tr, ch 5 and tr; tr in next 3 tr, ch 13, in center st of next ch make sc, ch-9 and sc; ch 13, tr in next 3 tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 22nd rnd: Ch 4, tr in next 2 tr, * ch 1, tr in ch-5 sp, ch 1, tr in next 3 tr, ch 7, in ch-9 loop make 21 d tr, ch 7, tr in next 3 tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 23rd rnd: Ch 4, tr in next 2 tr, tr in the 3 tr of next tr group, ** ch 7, * d tr in next 3 d tr, ch 3. Repeat from * 5 more times; d tr in next 3 d tr, ch 7, tr in each tr of next two 3 tr groups. Repeat from ** around. Join. 24th rnd: Ch 4, holding back the last loop of each tr make tr in next 5 tr, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (tr cluster made), ** ch 9, holding back on hook the last loop of each d tr, make * d tr in next 3 d tr, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (d tr cluster made), ch 10. Repeat from * 5 more times; make a cluster over remaining 3 sts of this group, ch 9 and work a tr cluster over the next 6 tr. Repeat from ** around. Join and fasten off.
