CHAIR BACK—Ch 281, d c in 8th st from hook, * ch 2, skip 2 sts of ch, d c in next st, repeat from * across row, (92 open meshes) ch 5, turn.
2nd Row—D c in next d c, * ch 2, d c in next d c, repeat from * 17 times, * 2 d c in next mesh, d c in next d c (solid mesh) repeat from * 3 times, then work 46 open meshes, 4 solid meshes, 19 open meshes, ch 5, turn. Continue working back and forth according to diagram above for the next 22 rows.
25th Row—2 open meshes, 1 solid mesh, * ch 3, skip 2 sts, s c in next st, ch 3, skip 2 sts, d c in next st, (lacet st), repeat from * 3 times, 4 solid meshes, 12 open meshes, 4 solid meshes, 4 lacet sts, 1 solid mesh, 12 open meshes, 1 solid mesh, 4 lacet sts, 4 solid meshes, 12 open meshes, 4 solid meshes, 4 lacet sts, 1 solid mesh, 2 open meshes, ch 5, turn.
26th Row—2 open meshes, 1 solid mesh, * ch 5, d c in next d c, repeat from * 3 times, 8 solid meshes, 4 open meshes, 8 solid meshes, * ch 5, d c in next d c, repeat from * 3 times, 1 solid mesh, 12 open meshes, 1 solid mesh, * ch 5, d c in next d c, repeat from * 3 times, 8 solid meshes, 4 open meshes, 8 solid meshes, * ch 5, d c in next d c, repeat from * 3 times, 1 solid mesh, 2 open meshes, ch 5, turn. Continue working back and forth according to diagram. To decrease a mesh, sl st across mesh.
EDGE—Work a row of s c and 5 ch picots around entire chair back as illustrated, working 3 s c in each open mesh, break thread.
ARM REST—Ch 131, d c in 8th st from hook, * ch 2, skip 2 sts of ch, d c in next st, repeat from * across row (42 open meshes) ch 5, turn.
2nd Row—19 open meshes, 4 solid meshes, 19 open meshes, ch 5, turn. Continue working back and forth according to diagram above for next 52 rows, working edges even.
55th Row—11 open meshes, 4 solid meshes, 12 open meshes, 4 solid meshes, 11 open meshes, turn.
56th Row—Sl st across 11 meshes, ch 5, d c in next d c, 8 solid meshes, 4 open meshes, 8 solid meshes, 1 open mesh, ch 5, turn.
57th Row—9 open meshes, 4 solid meshes, 9 open meshes, turn.
58th Row—Sl st across 8 meshes, ch 5, d c in next d c, 5 open meshes. Finish same as chair back, break thread.
