1st Rnd: Ch 3, 4 dc in ring, (ch 3, 5 dc in ring) 3 times; ch 3, sl st in top of first ch-3.
2nd Rnd: Ch 4, (dc in next dc, ch 1) 3 times; * dc in next dc, ch 2, in next loop make dc, ch 5 and dc (corner loop); ch 2, (dc in next dc, ch 1) 4 times. Repeat from * around. Join to 3rd ch of first ch-4.
3rd Rnd: Ch 1, * (sc in next sp, ch 3) 4 times; dc in first dc of corner, 9 dc in corner loop, dc in next dc, ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join.
4th Rnd: Sl st in next loop, sc in same loop, * (ch 3, sc in next loop) twice: ch 3, sc in back loop of next 5 dc, in back loop of next dc make sc, ch 3 and sc; sc in back loop of next 5 dc, ch 3, skip next sp, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join.
5th Rnd: Sl st in next loop, sc in same loop, * ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 5, skip first sc of corner group, sc in back loop of next 5 sc, in next loop make sc, ch 3 and sc; sc in back loop of next 5 sc, ch 5, skip next sp, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join.
6th Rnd: Sl st in next loop, sc in same loop, * ch 7, skip first sc of corner group, sc in back loop of next 5 sc, in next loop make sc, ch 7 and sc; sc in back loop of next 5 sc, ch 7, skip next sp, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join and break off.
SECOND MOTIF: Work as for First Motif until 5 rnds have been completed.
6th Rnd: Sl st in next loop, sc in same loop, ch 7, skip first sc of corner group, sc in back loop of next 5 sc, sc in next ch-3 loop, ch 3, sl st in any corner loop on First Motif, ch 3, sc in same loop on Second Motif, sc in back loop of next 5 sc, ch 3, sl st in next loop on First Motif, ch 3, sc in next ch-3 loop on Second Motif, ch 3, sl st in next loop on First Motif, ch 3, skip first sc of next corner group, sc in back loop of next 5 sc, sc in next ch-3 loop, ch 3, sl st in next corner loop on First Motif, ch 3.
