=MATERIALS=:
=J. & P. COATS KNIT-CRO-SHEEN=, _4 balls of White or Ecru for main
color (to be referred to as “M”), and 8 balls of a contrasting
color (to be referred to as “C”)_.
=Milward’s Steel Crochet Hook= _No. 8 or 9_.
The above amount of materials is sufficient for 4 place mats, each
about 11½″ x 17″, and a center mat about 14″ x 32″.
=GAUGE=: 12 dc make 1″; 4 rows make 1″.
=PLACE MATS—(Make 4)...= Starting at long side, with C color ch 192
(to measure about 18″). =1st row=: Dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in each
ch across (190 dc, counting turning ch-3 as 1 dc). Ch 3, turn. =2nd
row=: Dc in each dc across. Ch 3, turn. =3rd row=: Dc in each of 5
dc; dc in next dc, leaving the last 2 loops on hook, drop C, attach
M color, and * draw through 2 loops. Then, holding C along top of
previous row, make dc in each of next 4 dc (thus concealing C); dc in
next dc, leaving the last 2 loops on hook, drop M, pick up C and draw
through 2 loops; dc in next dc, leaving the last 2 loops on hook,
drop C, pick up M and draw through 2 loops; dc in each of next 5 dc,
leaving the last 2 loops on hook and concealing C as before; drop
M, pick up C and draw through 2 loops. Then, holding M along top of
previous row, make dc in each of 4 dc, leaving the last 2 loops on
hook (thus concealing M); drop C, pick up M. Repeat from * across,
ending row with 5 M dc and 7 C dc. Ch 3, turn. Hereafter work as
follows, changing color and concealing unused color as before. =4th

ending row with 18 C dc. Ch 3, turn. The last 4 rows (3rd to 6th rows
incl.) constitute the pattern. Repeat pattern 10 more times, but omit
the 6th row of the last pattern. Break off M, and work 2 rows of C
dc. Break off.
=CENTER MAT...= Starting at short side with C, ch 161 (to measure
about 14″). Work exactly as for place mats until piece measures 31½″.
Break off M, and work 2 rows of C dc. Break off.

clusters. Complete rnd as for 1st block (no more joinings).
Make necessary number of blocks, joining at all adjacent sides in
same manner as 2nd block was joined to 1st (8 loops in all remain
free between joinings for fill-in lace to be made later).
=FILL-IN LACE...= Fill in all spaces between squares as follows: Ch
4, join with sl st to form ring, ch 4, sl st in center ch of a free
loop at corner (in space between joinings), * ch 4, sc in ring, ch 4,
