=MAGNOLIA= No. 6020
=MATERIALS=:
=J. & P. COATS KNIT-CRO-SHEEN.= _See thread information on page 22._
=Milward’s Steel Crochet Hook= _No. 7_.
=GAUGE=: Using the materials recommended, each motif measures about
6″ in diameter before joining, and requires about 50 yds. of thread.
Fill-in requires about 7½ yds. Allow an extra ball for edging.
=RECOMMENDED USE: Bedspreads.=
=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.
