Edging Pattern #3-23
ROYAL SOCIETY CORDICHET, Size 30-50
Starting at narrow end, ch 9. 1st row: Thread over twice, insert hook in 5th ch from hook and pull loop through; thread over and draw through 2 loops on hook, thread over, sk 2 ch, insert hook in next ch and pull loop through, (thread over and draw through 2 loops) 4 times; ch 2, dc in center point of cross (cross st made), tr in last ch. Ch 4, turn. 2nd row: Tr in 1st leg of cross st, 2 tr in ch-2 sp, tr in last leg of cross st, tr in top st of turning ch. Ch 4, turn. 3rd row: Thread over twice, insert hook in next tr and pull loop through; thread over and draw through 2 loops on hook, thread over, sk 2 tr, insert hook in next tr and pull loop through, complete cross st as before, tr in top st of turning ch. Ch 4, turn. Repeat 2nd and 3rd rows alternately for length desired, ending with a cross st. Ch 1 and work scallops along long edge as follows: 1st row: Sc in top of last tr, * ch 6, sc in base of same tr, ch 6, sc in top of next tr. Repeat from * across. Ch 5, turn. 2nd row: * Make 9 tr in next loop, dc in next loop. Repeat from * across, ending with 9 tr in last loop. Ch 5, turn. 3rd row: Sk next tr, * tr in center 5 tr of this group, ch 5, sc in next dc, ch 5, sk 2 tr of next group. Repeat from * across, ending with tr in center 5 tr of last group. Ch 4, turn. 4th row: * Holding back the last loop of each tr on hook make tr in next 3 tr, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made), in tip of cluster just made make ch 3, sc, ch 5, sc, ch 3 and sc, ch 5, holding back the last loop of each dc on hook make dc in each of next 2 loops, thread over and draw through all loops on hook, ch 5, sk 1 tr. Repeat from * across. Fasten off.
