MOTIF...Ch 6, join with sl st to form ring.1st rnd: * Ch 7, sc in ring. Repeat from * 3 more times.2nd rnd: * Ch 6, 3 sc in next loop. Repeat from * 3 more times.3rd rnd: Ch 6, 3 sc in 1st ch-6 loop of previous rnd and 1 sc in each of next 2 sc, picking up only the back loop of sc throughout motif; ch 6, 3 sc in next ch-6 loop and 1 sc in back loop of each of the 2 sc. Continue in this manner, making ch-6 between groups, 3 sc over the ch-loop and sc in each sc except the last sc of each group, until the 8th rnd is completed (15 sc in each group).9th rnd: * Ch 6, sc in ch-6 of previous rnd, ch 6, skip 1st sc of group, 1 sc in each of next 13 sc, picking up back loops only, and repeat from * around.10th rnd: * Ch 6, sc in 1st ch-6 loop of previous rnd, ch 6, sc in next loop, ch 6, skip 1st sc of group, sc in each sc to within last sc of same group. Repeat from * around.11th rnd: * Ch 6, sc in ch-6, ch 6, 4 dc in center ch-6 loop, ch 6, sc in next ch-6 loop, ch 6, skip 1st sc, sc in each sc to within the last sc. Repeat from * around.12th rnd: * Ch 6, sc in loop, ch 6, 3 sc in loop, ch 3, skip 4-dc group, 3 sc in next loop, ch 6, sc in next loop, ch 6, skip 1st sc and make sc in each of next sc, omitting the last sc. Repeat from * around.13th rnd: * Ch 6, sc in loop, ch 6, 3 sc in next loop, ch 10, skip the 3 sc, the ch-3 and the 3 sc, then make 3 sc in next loop, ch 6, sc in next loop, ch 6, skip 1st sc, sc in each of next sc, omitting last sc in group. Repeat from * around.14th rnd: * Ch 6, sc in next loop, ch 6, 3 sc in next loop, ch 6, 4 dc in ch-10 loop, ch 6, 3 sc in next loop, ch 6, sc in next loop, ch 6, skip 1st sc, sc in each of next 3 sc. Repeat from * around.15th rnd: Ch 6, sc in next loop, * ch 6, 3 sc in next loop, ch 6, 4 dc in next loop, ch 14, 4 dc in next loop, ch 6, 3 sc in next loop, ch 6, sc in next loop, ch 3, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around.16th rnd: Ch 5, sc in next loop, ch 10, sc in next loop, ch 10, sc in 5th st of corner loop, ch 10, sc in 10th st of same corner loop. Continue thus, making ch-10 loops all around, skipping the ch-3 at tip of sc-sections and making corners as before. Join last ch-10 with sl st to sc following 1st ch-5 in this rnd. Fasten off.
SECOND MOTIF...Work as for 1st motif to 15th rnd incl.16th rnd: Ch 5, sc in next loop, ch 10, sc in next loop, ch 10, sc in 5th st of corner loop, ch 5, sc in corner loop of 1st motif, ch 5, skip 4 ch on motif in work, sc in next ch, ch 5, sc in corresponding loop of 1st motif, ch 5, sc in next loop on motif in work and continue thus, joining the following 5 loops as before.
Join all motifs in this manner (where 4 corners meet, join the last 2 corners to joining of 2 previous corners).
EDGING...1st row: Holding right side of work toward you, attach thread to the center st of any corner loop, ch 7 dc in same place, ch 5, * sc in next sc, ch 8, dc in next sc, ch 6, dc in same sc, ch 8. Repeat from * across this side of piece to within last motif, skipping all joinings of motifs. Now work into joining of last 2 motifs, treating joining as an sc and continue to within corner loop of piece, ch 5, in center st of corner loop make dc, ch 4 and dc; ch 5, sc in next sc. Ch 8, and continue thus around piece, ending with ch 5, sl st to 3rd st of ch-7 first made.2nd row: Ch 7, 4 dc in loop, ch 3, dc in same loop, ch 6, * 2 sc in next sc, ch 8, dc in next ch-6 loop, ch 3, 4 dc in same loop, ch 3, dc in same loop, ch 8. Repeat from * all around, ending row with ch 6, sl st in 3rd st of ch-7 loop first made.3rd row: Sl st in loop, ch 3, 3 dc in same loop, * ch 5, skip 4-dc group, 4 dc in next loop, ch 9, sc in next sc, ch 9, 4 dc in loop just before next 4-dc group. Repeat from * all around, ending row with ch 9, sl st to 3rd st of ch-3 first made.
