MATERIALS: Clark's Big Ball Best Six Cord Mercerized Crochet, Size 30. Steel crochet hook No. 10.
Starting at center, ch 9. Join with sl st to form ring.
Rnd 1: 16 sc in ring, sl st in first sc made.
Rnd 2: Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, skip 1 sc, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, sl st in first sc.
Rnd 3: Sc in same place as sl st, * 2 sc in 1 st sp, ch 4, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around, ending with sl st in first sc.
Rnds 4-20: * Sc in next sc and in each remaining sc of sc group, 2 sc in next sp, ch 4, skip first sc of next sc group. Repeat from * around (20 sc in each sc group on last rnd). Join as before.
Rnd 21: * Sc in next 18 sc, ch 4, sc in next sp, ch 4, skip next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.
Rnd 22: * Sc in next 16 sc, (ch 5, sc in next loop) twice; ch 5, skip next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.
Rnds 23-29 incl: Continue in this manner, having 2 sc less in each sc group and 1 loop more between sc groups on each rnd until 2 sc remain in each sc group on 29th rnd, ending with ch 2, dc in first sc.
Rnds 30-36 incl: * Ch 5, sc in next loop. repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in dc of previous rnd.
Rnd 37: Ch 3, 4 dc in loop just formed, * ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 3, 5 dc in next loop. repeat from * around, ending with ch 3. s; st in top of starting chain.
Rnd 38: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, * dc in next 3 dc, 2 dc in next dc, ch 3, skip next loop, sc in next loop, sc in next 5 dc, sc in next loop, ch 3, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join.
Rnd 39: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, * dc in next 5 dc, 2 dc in next dc, ch 3, skip 1 sc of next sc group, sc in next 5 sc, ch 3, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join.
Rnd 40: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, * dc in next 7 dc, 2 dc in next dc, ch 4 , skip 1 sc of next sc group, sc in next 3 sc, ch 4, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join.
Rnd 41: Ch 5, skip next dc, dc in next dc, (ch 2, skip next dc, dc in next dc) 4 times; * ch 5, skip 1 sc of next sc group, sc in next sc, ch 5, dc in next dc, (ch 2, skip 1 dc, dc in next dc) 5 times. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, sl st in 3rd ch of starting ch-5.
Rnd 42: Sl st in next sp, ch 4, (to count as tr), holding back on hook the last loop of each tr make 2 tr in same place as sl st, thread over and draw through all loops o0n hook (cluster made), * ch 5, make a 3-tr cluster in next ch-2 sp. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to tip of first cluster.
Rnd 43: Sl st in next 2 ch, sc in same sp, * ch 9, sc in 6th ch from hook, ch 4, sc in next sp. Repeat from * around. Join and break off.
Starch lightly and press.
