FIRST MOTIF...Starting at center, ch 8, join with sl st.1st rnd: 16 sc in ring.2nd rnd: Ch 4, * dc in next sc, ch 1. Repeat from * around. Join to 3rd st of ch-4 (16 sps).3rd rnd: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, skip next dc, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around; join last ch-5 to 3rd st of ch-3 (8 groups of 2 dc).4th rnd: Sl st in next dc, ch 3, * 2 dc in next loop, ch 6, skip 1st dc of next 2-dc group, dc in next dc of same group. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-6 to 3rd st of ch-3.5th rnd: Sl st in next dc, ch 3, dc in next dc, 2 dc in next loop, * ch 7, skip 1st dc of next group, dc in next 2 dc of same group, 2 dc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join as before.6th rnd: Sl st in next dc, ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, 2 dc in next loop. * Ch 8, skip 1st dc of next group, dc in next 3 dc of same group, 2 dc in next loop. Repeat from * around; join as before.7th, 8th and 9th rnds: Continue in this manner, always skipping the 1st dc of each group and making 2 increases in each group; also, on 7th rnd make ch-9 loops; on 8th rnd make ch-10 loops; on 9th rnd make ch-11 loops (8 dc in each group on 9th rnd); join.
10th rnd: Sl st in next 2 dc, ch 3, dc in next 5 dc, * ch 6, sc in next loop, ch 6, skip 1st 2 dc of next group, dc in next 6 dc, ch 10, sc in next loop, ch 10, skip 1st 2 dc of next group, dc in next 6 dc. Repeat from * around; join.11th rnd: Sl st in next 2 dc, ch 3, dc in next 3 dc, * ch 7, sc in next loop, sc in following loop, ch 7, skip 1st 2 dc of next dc-group, dc in next 4 dc, ch 6, 4 dc in next loop, ch 10, 4 dc in next loop, ch 6, skip 1st 2 dc of next group, dc in next 4 dc. Repeat from * around; join.12th rnd: Sl st in next 2 dc, ch 3, dc in next dc, * ch 11, sc between the 2 sc of previous rnd, ch 11, skip 1st 2 dc of next group, dc in next 2 dc, ch 7, 4 dc in next loop, ch 7, 4 dc in next loop, ch 11, 4 dc in same loop (this is corner). Ch 7, 4 dc in next loop, ch 7, skip 1st 2 dc of next group, dc in next 2 dc. Repeat from * around. Join and fasten off.

SECOND MOTIF...Work 1st 11 rnds as for 1st motif.12th rnd: Sl st in next 2 dc, ch 3, dc in next dc, ch 11, sc between the 2 sc of previous rnd, ch 11, skip 1st 2 dc of next dc-group, dc in next 2 dc. Ch 7, 4 dc in next loop, ch 7, 4 dc in following loop, ch 5, sc in corner loop of 1st motif (always keep right side of work on top). Ch 5, 4 dc in same loop back on 2nd motif, ch 3, sc in next ch-7 loop of 1st motif, ch 3, 4 dc in next loop on 2nd motif, ch 3, sc in next loop on 1st motif, ch 3, skip 1st 2 dc of group on 2nd motif and make dc in next 2 dc, ch 5, sc in next ch-11 loop on 1st motif, ch 5, sc between the 2 sc on 2nd motif.
Ch 5, sc in ch-11 loop on 1st motif, ch 5, skip 1st 2 dc of group on 2nd motif and make dc in next 2 dc, ch 3, sc in next loop on 1st motif, ch 3, 4 dc in next loop back on 2nd motif. Ch 3, sc in next loop on 1st motif, ch 3, 4 dc in next loop on 2nd motif, ch 5, sc in corner loop on 1st motif, ch 5, 4 dc in same loop on 2nd motif, ch 7, 4 dc in next loop on 2nd motif. Complete rnd as for 1st motif (no more joinings).
Make necessary number of motifs, joining at all adjacent sides as 2nd motif was joined to 1st (where 4 corners meet, join 3rd and 4th corners to joining of other corners).

EDGING...1st rnd: Attach thread to ch-7 loop just before corner, sc in same loop, ch 11; in corner loop make sc, ch 15 and sc. * Ch 11, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, making a ch-15 loop at each corner as before. Join last ch-11 with sl st to 1st sc.2nd rnd: Sl st in next 3 ch of next loop, 5 sc in same loop, ch 7; in corner loop make dc, ch 3 and dc; ch 7; * 5 sc in next loop, ch 5. In next loop make dc, ch 3 and dc; ch 5. Repeat from * around, making corners as before. Join last ch-5 to 1st sc made.3rd rnd: Sc in next 4 sc, ch 6, skip 5 ch, sc in next ch, ch 3. In corner ch-3 make dc, ch 3 and dc; ch 3, skip 1 ch, sc in next ch. * Ch 6, sc in next 4 sc, ch 6; in next ch-3 (between 2 dc) make dc, ch 3 and dc. Repeat from * around, making corners as before; join.4th rnd: Sc in next 3 sc, ch 5, sc in next sc, ch 5; in corner ch-3 make dc, ch 3 and dc; ch 5, sc in next sc. * Ch 5, sc in next 3 sc, ch 5; in ch-3 (between 2 dc) make dc, ch 3 and dc. Repeat from * around, making corners as before; join.5th rnd: Sc in next sc, ch 6, sc in next sc, ch 6. In corner ch-3 make 4 dc, ch 5 and 4 dc; ch 6, sc in next sc, ch 6, sc in center sc of 3-sc group. * Ch 7; in ch-3 (between 2 dc) make 4 dc, ch 5 and 4 dc. Ch 7, sc in center sc of next 3-sc group. Repeat from * around. Fasten off.
