Starting at center, ch 9. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: 16 sc in ring, sl st in first sc made. 2nd rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, skip 1 sc, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, sl st in first sc. 3rd rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, * 2 sc in ch-5 sp, ch 4, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around, ending with sl st in first sc. 4th to 15th rnds incl: * Sc in next sc and in each remaining sc of sc group, 2 sc in ch-4 sp, ch 4, skip first sc of next sc-group. Repeat from * around (15 sc in each sc group on last rnd). Join as before. 16th rnd: * Sc in next 13 sc, ch 4, sc in ch-4 sp, ch 4, skip next sc. Repeat from * around. Join. 17th rnd: * Sc in next 11 sc, (ch 5, sc in next loop) twice; ch 5, skip next sc. Repeat from * around. Join. Continue in this manner, having 2 sc less in each sc group and 1 loop more between sc groups on each rnd, until 1 sc remains in each sc group, ending with ch 2, dc in first sc. Now work as follows: 1st rnd: * Ch 2, sc in next loop, (ch 5, sc in next loop) 7 times. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in dc. 2nd rnd: * Ch 5, skip ch-2 loop, sc in next loop, (ch 5, sc in next loop) 6 times. Repeat from * around, ending as previous rnd. 3rd and 4th rnds: * Ch 5, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in dc. 5th rnd: Ch 5, sc in next loop, * ch 5, 6 dc in next loop; (ch 5, sc in next loop) 6 times. Repeat from * around. Join as before. 6th rnd: (Ch 5, sc in next loop) twice; * ch 5, sc between 3rd and 4th dc of dc group, (ch 5, sc in next loop) 7 times. Repeat from * around. Join. 7th rnd: * Ch 5, sc in the next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 8th rnd: * Ch 5, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch-5, sl st in dc. 9th rnd: 6 sc in each loop around.

RUFFLE ... 1st rnd: * Ch 5, skip 1 sc, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around. Join. 2nd to 5th rnds incl: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, * ch 5, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 6th to 10th rnds incl: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, * ch 6, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 11th to 18th rnds incl: Repeat 2nd rnd, making ch-7 loops on the 11th to 15th rnds incl, ch-8 loops on 16th rnd, ch-9 loops on 17th rnd and ch-10 loops on 18th rnd. Join and break off. Starch lightly and press.
