15. *8 tr worked on next 8 dc and closed together (cluster), (2 ch, tr in next sp) 7 times, 2 ch, (tr, 2 ch, tr) in next sp, (2 ch, tr in next sp) 7 times, 2 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

16.*picot on tr cluster, (2 sc in next sp, picot in next tr)7 times, 2 sc in next sp, sc in next tr, picot in corner sp, sc in next tr, (2 sc in next sp, picot in next tr)7 times, 2 sc in next sp*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st. Cut thread.

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.
