CENTER MOTIF … Ch 6, join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 6, * tr in ring, ch 2. Repeat from * 6 more times. Join to 4th st of ch-6 (8 sps). 2nd rnd: Ch 4, 4 tr in first sp, * ch 2, 5 tr in next sp. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-2 to 4th ch 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 ch of ch-4; sl st in first tr of group. 4th rnd: Ch 4; holding back on hook the last loop of each tr, make tr in next 4 tr, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made); * ch 4, 5 tr in next ch-3 sp, ch 4, skip first tr of next group, make a 5-tr cluster over next 5 tr. 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 ch of ch-8. 6th rnd: * Ch 12, skip first tr of next group, make a 5-tr cluster over next 5 tr; ch 12, sc in the single tr between groups. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-12 to base of first ch-12 (16 loops). Break off.

SMALL MOTIFSFirst Motif1st rnd: Ch 8, tr in 8th ch from hook, (ch 4, tr in same place) twice; ch 4. Join to 4th ch of ch-8 (4 sps). 2nd rnd: Ch 4, 6 tr in first sp, * ch 5, 7 tr in next sp. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, join to 4th ch of ch-4. 3rd rnd: Sl st in first tr, ch 4, make 4-tr cluster over next 4 tr, ch 11, sc in next ch-5 loop on Small Motif, ch 5, sl st in ch-12 loop on Center Motif; ch 5, skip first tr on Small Motif, make 5-tr cluster over next 5 tr, ch 5, sl st in next ch-12 loop on Center Motif, ch 5, * sc in next ch-5 loop on Small Motif, ch 11, skip next tr on Small Motif, make 5-tr cluster over next 5 tr, ch 11. Repeat from * around. Join and break off.

SECOND MOTIF … Work first 2 rnds as for First Motif. 3rd rnd: Ch 4, make 4-tr cluster over next 4 tr, ch 11, sc in next ch-5 loop on Second Motif, ch 11, make 5-tr cluster over next tr group, ch 5, sl st in first free loop following last joining on First Small Motif, ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop on Second Motif, ch 5, sl st in next loop on Center Motif, ch 5, 5-tr cluster over next tr group on Second Motif, ch 5, sl st in next loop on Center Motif, ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop on Second Motif, ch 11, complete this rnd as for First Motif (no more joinings).
   Make 6 more motifs, joining each motif as Second Motif was joined to First Motif and Center Motif. Join last motif to First Motif.

FIRST END MOTIF … Work first 2 rnds as for First Motif. 3rd rnd: Ch 4, make 4-tr cluster over next 4 tr, ch 5, sl st in 2nd free loop on last motif made (preceding joining of last motif and First Motif), ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop on motif in work, ch 5, sl st in next loop of last motif, ch 5, tr cluster over next tr group on motif in work, ch 5, sl st in next loop on First Motif, ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop on motif in work, ch 5, sl st in next loop on First Motif, ch 5, cluster over next tr group (4 joinings). Complete rnd as for previous motif.

SECOND END MOTIF … Work as for preceding End Motif, joining it to First and Second Small Motifs as previous Small Motif was joined.
   Make another end motif in the same way, joining 2 corresponding loops to each of the last 2 motifs made. Com­plete other end to correspond.

RUFFLE … Attach thread to first free loop on End Motif. 1st rnd: Working around end of Doily, ch 18, * in next loop make dc, ch 10 and dc; ch 10, in next loop make dc, ch 10 and dc; ch 14, tr in next 2 free loops, (ch 14, dc in next free loop) twice; ch 14, tr in next 2 free loops, ch 14, dc in next loop, ch 10, dc in next loop, ch 14, tr in next 2 free loops, (ch 14, dc in next free loop) twice; ch 14, tr in next 2 free loops, ch 14. Repeat from * once more, ending with tr in last free loop. Join to 4th ch of ch-18. 2nd rnd: Dc closely around, making 20 dc in each ch-14 sp and 15 dc in each ch-10 sp. Join. 3rd rnd: Ch 9, * skip 1 dc, tr in next dc, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join. 4th, 5th and 6th rnds: Sl st to center of next loop, ch 9, * tr in next loop, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join. 7th to 10th rnds incl: Repeat 3rd rnd, having one additional chain on loops of each following rnd. Break off at end of 10th rnd. Starch lightly and press.
