Comments: Like Glaze Ice, this motif can be used as an insertion for a curtain (see the comments on that pattern);it is also a good motif for an old-time looking bedspread

Size :13 centimeters (5 1/2 inches)

Material :Pearl cotton # 5, hook 1.9 mm (Boye steel#5), dark yellow; a plastic ring about 2 cm. (3/4") diameter; you can substitute with Cebelia #5 or equivalent cordonnet thread (but the gauge can slightly vary); you may want to give a look to my virtual store if you need materials.

Stitches : ch, sl st, sc, dc,

Difficulty: medium

Directions

Join thread in the plastic ring

1. 32 sc in the ring; join with sl st to first st.

2. *(dc on next dc) 3 times, sk a dc*; Repeat * to * 8 times, join with sl st to first st.

3. *sc in next sp, 20 ch, sl st in 17th ch from hook, 3 ch *; Repeat * to * 8 times, join with sl st to first st.

4. sc in next sc, ( 16 dc, 3 ch, 16 dc) in first loop, *sc on next sc, ( dc , sl st in last dc of previous loop, dc, sl st in next-to-last dc of previous loop, 14 dc, 3 ch, 16 dc ) in next loop *; Repeat * to * 6 times, ; sc on next sc, (dc, sl st in last dc of previous loop, dc, sl st in next-to-last dc of previous loop, 14 dc, 3 ch, 15 dc sl st in 2n dc of first loop, dc, sl st in first dc of first loop) in last loop. Join with sl st to first sc. Cut thread.

5. Join thread in 3-ch loop, *(3 dc, 2 ch, 3 dc) in 3-ch loop, 6 ch, yo twice, insert hook in the center of 16-dc grp on the left of same loop, draw one, yo, draw two, yo, insert hook on the center of 16-dc grp on the right side of next loop, draw one , yo, (draw two) 4 times; 2 ch, dc on the two closed dc (you will obtain 2 crossed stitches) 6 ch*; Repeat * to * 8 times, join with sl st to first st. Cut thread, weave in ends.

N.B.

• Substitute ever (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.
