Ch 39, dc in 7th st from hook, * ch1, skip 1 st of ch, dc in next st, repeat from * 15x.

Rd 2 sc into last mesh over the dc just made, *ch 25, sc in same mesh, repeat from * 6x, ch 20, 2 sc in each of the next 7 meshes, ch 20, sc in next mesh, * ch 25, sc in same mesh, repeat from *3x, ch 20, 2 sc in each of the next 7 meshes, ch 20, sc in corner mesh, * ch 25, sc in same mesh, repeat from * 7x, ch 20 and working on other side of meshes, work 2sc in each of the next 7 meshes, ch 20, sc in next mesh, * ch 25, sc in same mesh, repeat from * 3x, ch 20, 2sc in each of the next 7 meshes, ch20, sc in next mesh (corner) ch 25, sc in same mesh, break thread.

Rd 3 attach thread in 1st loop of center group on side, sc in same sp, * ch7, sc in next loop, repeat from * 4x, sc in 1st loop of end group, *ch 7, sc in next loop, repeat from * 8x, sc in 1st loop of next group at side, *ch 7, sc in next loop, repeat from * 4x, sc in 1st loop of end group, * ch7, sc in next loop, repeat from * 8x, join to 1st sc.

Rd 4 sl st to center of loop, * ch 10, sc in next loop, repeat from *all around, then without joining rows, work 3 more rows of 10 ch loops.

Next row *ch 30, sc in same loop, repeat from * 5x, 10sc in next loop, sc in next loop and work 6-30 chain loops in same loop, repeat from * all around, join and break thread. Attach thread in 1st long loop and work 10 ch loops over long loops and 3 ch loops between groups of long loops, sl st to center of loop and work a 10 ch loop in each 10 ch loop. Without joining rows, work 8 more rows of 10 chain loops.
