FIRST MOTIF
With Red, ch 14 loosely.
Row 1: (Right side): Sc in fifth ch from hook (ring made), hdc in next ch, dc in next ch, 2 dc in next ch, dc in next ch, 2 tr in next ch, tr in next ch, work Cluster: 10 sts and one ring.
Note: Loop a short piece of yarn around any stitch to mark Row 1 as right side.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn; sc in each st across and in ring changing to Off-White in last sc (Fig. 5, page 126); do not cut Red.
Note: Hold unused color to wrong side, now and throughout.
Row 3: Ch 1, turn; working in Back Loops Only (Fig. 2, page 125), skip first sc, sc in next sc, hdc in next sc, dc in next sc, 2 dc in next sc, dc in next sc, 2 tr in next sc, tr in next sc, work Cluster.
Row 4: Ch 1, turn; sc in both loops of each st across, sc in ring changing to Red; do not cut Off-White.
Row 5: Ch 1, turn; working in Back Loops Only, skip first sc, sc in next sc, hdc in next sc, dc in next sc, 2 dc in next sc, dc in next sc, 2 tr in next sc, tr in next sc, work Cluster.
Row 6: Ch 1, turn; sc in both loops of each st across, sc in ring changing to Off-White; do not cut Red.
Rows 7-23: Repeat Rows 3-6, 4 times; then repeat Row 3 once more; at the end of Row 23, cut Red.
Row 24: Ch 1, turn; sc in both loops of each st across, sc in ring.
Row 25 (Joining row): Turn; holding right side together, working in free loops of beginning ch (Fig. 3b, page 126) and in Back Loops Only of sts on Row 24, skip first sc on Row 24, slip st...
