FIRST MOTIF...Starting at center, ch 6, join with sl st.1st rnd: Ch 4 (to count as tr), 15 tr in ring. Join with sl st to 4th st of ch-4.2nd rnd: Ch 7, * tr in next tr, ch 3. Repeat from * around; join to 4th st of ch-7.3rd rnd: Ch 4, * in next sp make a pc st—to make pc st, ch 1, make 5 tr in sp, drop loop from hook, insert hook in ch-1 preceding 5 tr and draw dropped loop through. Then make a tr and pc st in same sp. Make tr in next tr, ch 3, tr in next tr. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-3 to 4th st of ch-4.4th rnd: Ch 4, pc st in same place as sl st, * tr in next pc st, pc st in next tr, tr in next pc st; in next tr make a pc st and a tr. Ch 4, in next tr make a tr and a pc st. Repeat from * around; join last ch-4 to 4th st of ch-4 first made.5th rnd: Sl st in tip of next pc st, ch 4; * (pc st in next tr, tr in next pc st) twice; ch 4, skip next tr, 5 tr in next ch-4 sp, ch 4, skip next tr, tr in next pc st. Repeat from * around; join.6th rnd: Sl st in tip of next pc st, ch 4, tr in next tr and in tip of next pc st, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook; thread over and draw through all loops on hook (a cluster). * Ch 5, skip next tr and sp, make 2 tr in next tr, tr in next 3 tr, 2 tr in next tr; ch 5, skip next sp and 1 tr; make tr in next 3 sts, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook; thread over and draw through all loops on hook (another cluster). Repeat from * around; join.7th rnd: * Ch 11, skip next sp and 1 tr; tr in next 5 tr, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook and complete a cluster as before. Ch 11, sc in tip of next cluster. Repeat from * around. Join and fasten off. This completes one motif.
SECOND MOTIF...Work 1st 6 rnds as for first motif.7th rnd: Ch 11, skip 1 sp and 1 tr, tr in next 5 tr, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook and complete a cluster as before. Ch 5, sl st in corresponding ch-11 loop on 1st motif (always keeping right side of work on top); ch 5, sc in tip of next cluster on 2nd motif. Ch 5, sl st in next ch-11 loop on 1st motif; ch 5, skip next sp and tr; make a 5-tr cluster on 2nd motif as before, and complete rnd as for 1st motif. Fasten off.
Make necessary number of motifs, joining as 2nd motif was joined to 1st, leaving 2 ch-11 loops free between joinings.

FILL-IN MOTIF...1st rnd: Starting at center, ch 8, make tr in 8th ch from hook; (ch 4, tr in same place as last tr was made) twice; ch 4, sl st in 4th st of ch-8 first made.2nd rnd: Ch 4 (to count as tr), * in next sp make pc st, tr and another pc st; in next tr make tr, ch 6 and tr. Repeat from * around, joining last ch-6 to 4th st of ch-4 first made.3rd rnd: Ch 4, tr in each of next 4 sts, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook; thread over and draw through all loops on hook (a cluster). Ch 5, sl st in a free ch-11 loop (of a large motif) between joinings, * ch 5, sc in next ch-6 loop of fill-in motif, ch 5, sl st in next free ch-11 loop on large motif, ch 5, tr in each of next 5 sts of fill-in motif, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook, and complete a cluster. Ch 5, sl st in next free ch-11 loop. Repeat from * around, joining last ch-5 with sl st to tip of 1st cluster made. Fasten off. Fill in all spaces between joinings in this manner.
EDGING...Attach thread to a joining point between any 2 motifs and work along entire outer edge as follows: Make 7 sc in 1st loop of next motif; in each of next 6 loops of same motif (10 loops of corner motifs) make: 1 sc, 1 half dc, 5 dc, 4 tr, 5 dc, 1 half dc and 1 sc. Make 7 sc in next loop (preceding next joining), 7 sc in 1st loop of next motif, and continue thus around. Fasten off.
