2nd Row. Ch 5, 2 d tr c (3 times over hook) in same space keeping last loop of each d tr c on hook, thread over and work off all loops at one time, * ch 4, 3 d tr c in next d c keeping last loop of each d tr c on hook, thread over and work off all loops at one time, repeat from * all around, ch 4, join in top of 1st point, cut thread.

3rd Row. Attach Shaded Greens in any loop, ch 1, work 5 s c in same loop, * 5 s c in next loop, repeat from * all around, join in 1st sc.

4th Row. Sl st to center sc of loop, ch 3, 1 d c, ch 2, 2 d c in same space, * ch 1, 2 d c, ch 2, 2 d c (shell) in center s c of next loop, repeat from * all around, ch 1, join in 3rd st of ch.

5th Row. Sl st to center of shell, ch 9, tr c in same space (corner), * ch 4, 1 d c, ch 2, 1 d c in center of next shell, repeat from * twice, ch 4, 1 tr c, ch 5, 1 tr c in center of next shell (corner), repeat from 1st * all around ending to cor­respond, ch 4, join in 4th st of ch.

6th Row. Sl st into loop, ch 4, 2 tr c in same space keeping last loop of each tr c on hook, thread over and work off all loops at one time, * ch 5, tr c cluster st in same space (tr c cluster st: 3 tr c in same space keeping last loop of each st on hook, thread over and work off all loops at one time), ch 6, skip 1 loop, 3 s c in next ch 2 loop, ch 5, skip 1 loop, shell in next ch 2 loop, ch 5, skip 1 loop, 3 s c in next ch 2 loop, ch 6, skip 1 loop, tr c cluster st in next loop (corner), repeat from * all around ending to correspond, ch 6, join.

7th Row. Sl st into loop, ch 4 (counts as part of 1st cluster st), tr cluster st in same space, ch 5, tr c cluster st in same space, * ch 9, 2 tr cluster sts with ch 5 between in same space, ch 6, skip 1 s c, 1 s c, ch 3, 1 s c in next s c, ch 5, 2 d c, ch 3, 2 d c in center of next shell, ch 5, skip 1 s c, 1 s c, ch 3, 1 s c in next s c, ch 6, skip 1 loop, 2 tr c cluster sts with ch 5 between in corner loop, repeat from * all around ending to correspond, ch 6, join in 1st cluster st, cut thread. Work a 2nd motif in same manner joining to 1st motif in last row as fol­lows: sl st into loop, ch 4 (counts as part of 1st cluster st), tr c cluster st in same space, ch 5, tr c cluster st in same space, ch 4, join to corner loop of 1st motif, ch 4, tr c cluster st in same space of 2nd motif, ch 2, join to next loop of 1st motif, ch 2, tr c cluster st in same space of 2nd motif, ch 6, skip 1 s c, 1 s c, ch 3, 1 s c in next s c, ch 5, skip 1 loop, 2 d c in center of next shell, ch 1, join to corresponding shell of 1st motif, ch 1, 2 d c in same space of 2nd motif, ch 5, skip 1 s c, 1 s c, ch 3, 1 s c in next s c, ch 6, skip 1 loop, tr c cluster st in corner loop, ch 2, join to corresponding loop of 1st motif, ch 2, tr c cluster st in same space of 2nd motif, ch 4, join to corner loop of 1st motif, ch 4, tr c cluster st in same space of 2nd motif, ch 5, tr c cluster st in same space of 2nd motif, finish motif same as 1st motif.
