5.sl st in 2-ch sp, * 2 dc in sp, 3 ch, 2 dc in next sp, 1 ch, (dc in next tr)3 times, (2 dc, 2 ch, 2 dc) in corner sp, (dc in next tr) 3 times, dc in next sp, 1 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st in starting st;

6.sc in ea st, making 3 sc in 3-ch sp, 1 sc in 1-ch sp and 3 sc in corner sp. Cut thread, weave in ends.

N.B.

Always substitute (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
- first sc with 1 ch, sc;
- first hdc with 2 ch;
- first dc with 3 ch;
- first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
