Attach thread in loop before center picot at end of work, * ch 7, s c in next loop, ch 7, skip the double cluster group, s c in next loop, repeat from * twice, ch 7, d c in next loop, tr c in joining of motifs, ch 5, tr c in same space, d c in next loop, * ch 7, s c in next loop, ch 7, skip the double cluster group, s c in next loop, repeat from * once, ch 7, d c in next loop, tr c in joining of motifs, ch 5, tr c in same space, d c in next loop, * ch 7, s c in next loop, ch 7, skip the double cluster group, s c in next loop, repeat from * 5 times, finish side to correspond.
2nd Row. Work 7 s c over each loop.
