Ch 6, join with sl st.

First Rnd:

Ch 6, *tr in ring, ch 2; repeat from * 6 times, ch 2, join to 4th st of ch-6. (8 spaces)

2nd Rnd:

Ch 4, 4 tr in same place as sl st, *ch 2, 5 tr in next sp; repeat from * around; join last ch-2 to 4th st of ch-4.

3rd Rnd:

Ch 4, tr in same place as sl st, tr in next 4 tr, *tr in first ch of ch-2, ch 3, tr in next ch of same ch-2, tr in next 5 tr; repeat from * around; join last ch-3 to 4th st of ch-4; sl st in first tr of group.

4th Rnd:

Ch 4, tr in next 4 tr, working off together as for a cluster, *ch 4, 5 tr in next ch-3 sp, ch 4, skip first tr of next group, tr in next 5 tr, working off together as for a cluster; repeat from * around; join last ch-4 to tip of first cluster.

5th Rnd:

Ch 8, *skip first 3 ch of ch-4 tr in next ch, tr in next 5 tr, tr in first ch of next ch-4, ch 4 tr in tip of cluster, ch 4; repeat from * around; join to 4th st of ch-8.

6th Rnd:

*Ch 12, skip first tr of next group, tr in next 5 tr, working off together as for a cluster; ch 12, sc in the single tr between groups; repeat from * around; join last ch-12; break off. (16 loops)

SECOND MOTIF:

Work as for first motif to 5th Rnd included.

6th Rnd:

Ch 12, skip first tr of next group, tr in next 5 tr, working off together as for a cluster; ch 6, sl st in first ch-12 loop on first motif (always keep right side of work on top), ch 6, sc in next single tr on second motif, ch 6, st st in next ch-12 loop on first motif, ch 6, make a cluster back on second motif; complete this round as for first motif, with no more joinings. See sample

Make 11 more motifs, joining in same manner (6 ch-12 loops free on each side of joinings on each motif), thus making a strip of 13 motifs.

SECOND STRIP (First Motif):

Work as for second motif in first strip and join as before to first motif of first strip, leaving 2 ch 12-loops free on first motif (counting from joining of first two motifs).

SECOND MOTIF:

Work to 5th Rnd included.

6th Rnd:

Work as for 6th Rnd of previous motif, but join to the 3rd and 4th ch-12 loops ( counting from joining) of second motif on first strip; then work 2 ch-12 loops back on motif in work, join to 3rd and 4th ch-12 loops of first motif of second strip; complete rnd with no more joinings (2 ch-12 loops are left free on each motif, to be joined later to fill-in motif).

Work next 11 motifs of this strip thus, joining each motif to two adjacent motifs. Work 15 more strips.

FILL-IN MOTIF:

First Rnd:

Ch 8, tr in 8th ch from hook, ch 4, tr in same place, ch 4, tr in same place, ch 4, join to 4th ch of ch-8. (4 spaces)

2nd Rnd:

Ch 4, 6 tr in first sp, *ch 5, 7 tr in next sp; repeat from * around, ch 5, join to 4th st of ch-4; sl st in first tr.

3rd Rnd:

Ch 4, tr in next 4 tr, working off together as for a cluster, ch 5, join to first ch-12 loop of a large motif ( as large motifs were joined), *ch 5, sc in next ch-4 loop back on fill-in motif, ch 5, join to 2nd ch-12 loop of same large motif,ch 5, work a 5-tr cluster back on fill-in motif, ch 5, join to first ch-12 loop of next large motif; repeat from* around, fasten off.

EDGING:

Attach Thread to joining point between any two large motifs. *7 sc in first loop of next motif; in each remaining loop of same motif make sc, half dc, 5 dc, 4 tr, 5 dc, half dc, sc; 7 sc in last loop. Repeat from * all around tablecloth.
