Starting at center, ch 10. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 3, 2 dc in ring, (ch 3, 3 dc in ring) 7 times; ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch of ch-3. 2nd rnd: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, * in next sp make dc, ch 3 and dc; dc in next 3 dc. Repeat from * around, ending with dc, ch 3 and dc in last sp. Sl st in top of starting chain. 3rd rnd: Ch 3, * in next dc make dc, ch 5 and dc; dc in next 2 dc, in next sp make dc, ch 3 and dc; dc in next 2 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 4th rnd: Sl st in next 3 dc and in next 2 ch, sc in same loop, * ch 5, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr make 2 tr in next sp, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made), ch 5, cluster in same place, ch 5, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 5th rnd: Sl st in next 5 ch, sl st in tip of next cluster, ch 4, tr in same place, * ch 3, in next sp make cluster, ch 5 and cluster; ch 3, cluster in tip of next cluster, ch 5, cluster in tip of next cluster. Repeat from * around. Join. 6th rnd: Ch 4, tr in same place, cluster in tip of next cluster, * ch 5, (cluster in tip of next cluster) twice; ch 5, tr in next sp, ch 5, (cluster in tip of next cluster) twice. Repeat from * around. Join. 7th rnd: Sl st in next cluster, ch 4, tr in same place, skip next cluster, cluster in tip of next cluster, * ch 3, tr in next sp, ch 5, 5 tr in next tr, ch 5, tr in next sp, ch 3, (skip next cluster, tr in tip of next cluster) twice. Repeat from * around. Join.
   8th rnd: Sl st in next 3 ch, sl st in next tr, ch 7, * 2 tr in next tr, tr in next 3 tr, 2 tr in next tr, ch 3, tr in next tr, ch 3, thread over twice; (insert hook in next sp and draw loop through) twice and complete as for a tr; ch 3, tr in next tr, ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join. 9th rnd: Ch 4, * 2 tr in next tr, tr in next 2 tr, in next tr make tr, ch 10 and tr; tr in next 2 tr, 2 tr in next tr, tr in next tr, (ch 5, tr in next tr) twice. Repeat from * around. 10th rnd: Sl st in next tr, ch 4, tr in same tr, * tr in next 3 tr, ch 10, sc in next loop, ch 10, skip next tr, tr in next 3 tr, 2 tr in next tr, ch 10, skip next tr, sc in next tr, ch 10, skip next tr, 2 tr in next tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 11th rnd: Ch 4, tr in same place as sl st, * tr in next 3 tr, (ch 10, sc in next loop) twice; ch 10, skip next tr, tr in next 3 tr, 2 tr in next tr, sc in next loop, ch 10, sc in next loop, 2 tr in next tr. Repeat from * around, ending with sc in last loop. Join. 12th rnd: Ch 4, tr in same place, * tr in next 3 tr, (ch 10, sc in next loop) 3 times; ch 10, skip next tr, tr in next 3 tr, 2 tr in next tr, sc in next loop, 2 tr in next tr. Repeat from * around. Join. 13th rnd: Ch 4, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr make tr in next 3 tr, thread over and draw through all loops on hook, * (ch 10, sc in next loop) 4 times; ch 10, skip next tr, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr make tr in next 4 tr, in the next sc and in the following 4 tr, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made). Repeat from * around, ending with a 5-tr cluster made over last 4 tr and the following sc. Join. 14th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, ch 14, * tr in next loop, ch 10. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to 4th ch of ch-14. 15th rnd: Ch 4, make 11 tr in each loop around. Join.

RUFFLE ... 1st rnd: Ch 9, * skip 1 tr, tr in next tr, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join. 2nd, 3rd and 4th rnds: Sl st to center of next loop, ch 9, * tr in next loop, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join. 5th to 8th rnds incl: Repeat 2nd rnd, having one additional chain on loops of each following rnd. Break off at end of 8th rnd. Starch lightly and press.
