Repeat Rows 3 and 4 until piece measures 11 inches, ending with a row of lacet sts, ch 5, turn.

Next Row: (Dc in dc, ch 2, dc in sc, ch 2) repeated across, ch 1, and work scs closely around piece, cut and fasten thread.

MOTIF:
Make 8 green, 8 pink, and 4 yellow.
Starting at centre, ch 10, join with sl st to form a ring.

Rnd 1: Ch 3 (for a dc), 19 dc in ring, join with sl st to top of ch 3.

Rnd 2: Ch 5 (for a dc and ch 2), (dc in next dc, ch 2) repeated around, join last ch 2 to third st of ch 5 first made, sl st in next st.

Rnd 3:
Ch 4 (for a tr), make 2 tr in next sp and work off as a 3 tr cluster (work 3 trs, holding last lp of each on hook, thread over and pull through all lps on hook), * (ch 2, 3 tr cluster in next sp) 3 times, ch 7, sk 1 sp, cluster in next sp; repeat from * around, end with ch 7, join with sl st to top of ch 4, cut and fasten thread.

Sew motifs together as follows: (pink, green, pink, yellow, pink, green, pink); sew this strip to long side of centre having end pink motifs extended beyond edges. Then sew (green, yellow, green) together and sew to short side of centre, sew end motifs together. Finish other 2 sides to correspond.

EDGING:
Join white in cluster to right of ch 7 lp on any corner motif, ch 5, in same corner make (2 tr cluster, ch 5, sc, ch 5) twice, cluster in same corner lp, ch 6, sk 1 sp, sc in next sp, ch 4, 2 tr cluster in same sp, ch 5, sk 1 cluster, sc in tip of next cluster, ch 4, cluster in same place, * ch 7, sc in tip of next cluster on next motif, ch 4, cluster in same place, ch 5, sk 1 cluster, sc in next sp, ch 4, cluster in same sp, ch 5, sk 1 cluster, sc in tip of next cluster, ch 4, cluster in same place.

Repeat from * around, making all corners correspond with the first. Join last ch to base on first cluster.

Rnd 2: Sl st in tip of first cluster, sc in same place as last sl st, * ch 9, sc in tip of next cluster, repeat from * around. Fasten and cut thread.
