Repeat from * around, end-ing with ch 7. Join to tip of first cluster. Break off and fasten.
SECOND MOTIF:
Work exactly as for First Motif until the 9th rnd has been completed.
10th Rnd: Ch 4, 2-tr cluster over next 2 dc, ch 3; now join 2 motifs along one side as follows: Sl st in any corner loop on First Motif, ch 3, sl st in tip of cluster just made on Second Motif, (ch 3, sl st in next loop on First Motif, ch 3, sc in next loop on Second Motif) twice; (2 dc in next sc on Second Motif, sl st in center dc of next shell on First Motif, complete the shell in work on Second Motif, sc in center dc of next shell on Second Motif) 4 times; 2 dc in next sc on Second Motif, sl st in center dc of next shell on First Motif, complete the shell in work on Second Motif, (sc in next loop on Second Motif, ch 3, sl st in next loop on First Motif, ch 3) twice; 3-tr cluster over next 3 dc on Second Motif, ch 3, sl st in next corner loop on First Motif, ch 3, sl st in tip of cluster just made on Second Motif; working on Second Motif only and starting at * on 10th rnd of First Motif, complete Second Motif exactly as for First Motif (no more joinings).
For Single Size Spread make 15 x 24 motifs; or for Double Size Spread make 19 x 24 motifs, joining motifs as Second Motif was joined to First Motif (where 4 corners meet, join corners to previous joinings).

Repeat from ** across to within the first ch-7 loop following the last shell of last motif preceding next corner. Repeat from * around, ending with a shell. Join to first sc.
2nd Rnd: Ch 3, dc in joining, (sc in center dc of next shell, shell in next sc) twice; sc in center dc of next shell, * in corner sc make shell, ch 3 and shell; ** sc in center dc of next shell, shell in next sc. Repeat from ** across to within the first shell of next corner group, sc in center dc of next shell. Repeat from * around, ending with dc in same sc where first dc was made. Join to top of ch-3.
3rd Rnd: Ch 1, sc in joining, (shell in next sc, sc in center dc of next shell) 3 times; * in corner sp make shell, ch 3 and shell; ** sc in center dc of next shell, shell in next sc. Repeat from ** across to within the shell preceding next corner sp, sc in center dc of next shell. Repeat from * around, ending with shell in last sc. Join to first sc.
4th Rnd: Ch 3, dc in joining, (sc in center dc of next shell, shell in next sc) 3 times; sc in center dc of next shell. Repeat from * on 3rd rnd, ending with dc in same place where first dc was made. Join.
