2nd Row. * Ch 6, skip 3 s c, s c in next s c, repeat from * all around.
3rd Row. Sl st into loop, * ch 8, s c in same loop, ch 8, s c in same
loop, ch 8, s c in next loop, repeat from * all around ending row with
ch 4, tr c in sl st (this brings thread in position for next row).
4th Row. * Ch 8. s c in next loop, repeat from * all around ending row
with ch 4, tr c in tr c.
5th Row. Ch 6, cluster st in next loop (cluster st: thread over needle,
insert in loop, pull through and work off 2 loops, * thread over needle,
insert in same loop, pull through and work off 2 loops, repeat from *
once, thread over and work off all loops at one time), ch 4, cluster st
in same space, * ch 3, d c in next loop, ch 3, 2 cluster sts with ch 4
between in next loop, repeat from * all around ending row with ch 3,
join in 3rd st of ch 6.
6th Row. * Ch 8, s c between next 2 cluster sts, ch 8, s c in next d c,
repeat from * all around ending row with ch 4, tr c in same st as
beginning.
7th Row. * Ch 8, s c in next loop, repeat from * all around.
8th Row. Sl st to center of loop and then work in same manner as 5th
row.

cluster sts, ch 3, d c in next d c, ch 3, repeat from * all around, join
in 3rd st of ch 6.
10th Row. Ch 4, * 4 cluster sts with ch 4 between each cluster st in
loop between next 2 cluster sts, ch 1, d c in next d c, ch 1, repeat
from * all around ending row with 4 cluster sts with ch 4 between each
cluster st in loop between next 2 cluster sts, ch 1, join in 3rd st of
ch 4.
11th Row. Ch 1, s c in same space, s c in next ch 1 loop, * 2 s c in
next ch 4 loop between cluster sts, ch 3, sl st in top of last s c for
picot, 2 s c in same loop, 2 s c, picot, 2 s c in each of the next 2
loops, s c in next ch 1 loop, s c in next d c, s c in next ch 1 loop,
repeat from * all around ending row to correspond, join, break thread.
