Step: 5

Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across, turn - 103 sc.

Step: 6

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in each of the next 4 sc, *[skip next 2 sc, dc in next sc, ch 1, working backwards, skip second skipped sc and dc in first skipped sc - crossed dc made] 3 times, dc in each of next 5 sc; repeat from * across, turn.

Step: 7

Row 3: Ch 1, sc in each dc and each ch-1 space across, turn - 103 sc.

Step: 8

Row 4: Ch 1, sc in each of first 5 sc, *[skip next 3 sc, Fptr in next dc in Row 2 pulling loop up even with work, ch 1, working backwards, Fptr in dc in Row 2 below first skipped st pulling loop up even with work] 3 times, sc in each of next 5 sc; repeat from * across, turn.

Step: 9

Row 5: Ch 1, sc in each sc, Fptr and ch-1 space across, turn - 103 sc.

Step: 10

Row 6: Ch 1, sc in each of first 5 sc, *[skip next 3 sc, Fptr in next Fptr 2 rows below pulling loop up even with work, ch 1, working backwards Fptr in first skipped Fptr] 3 times, sc in each of next 5 sc *, repeat from * across, turn.

Step: 13

Rounds 2-3: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, working (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner ch-2 space, slip st to first sc to join.

Step: 14

Round 4: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, working 2 sc in each corner ch-2 space, slip st to first sc to join.

Step: 15

Round 5: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in next sc, [ch 3, slip st in top of last dc made], *dc in next 2 sc, [ch 3, slip st in top of last dc made]; repeat from * around, slip st to top of beginning ch.

Step: 16

Round 6: Slip st to first ch-3 loop, ch 1, [2 sc in ch-3 loop, ch 3, slip st in top of last sc made], repeat between [ ]’s in next 41 ch-3 loops, repeat from [ ]’s 2 times in each of next 2 ch-3 loops, repeat from [ ]’s in next 61 ch-3 loops, rep from [ ]’s 2 times in each of next 2 ch-3 loops, repeat from [ ]’s in next 43 ch-3 loops, repeat from [ ]’s 2 times in each of next 2 ch-3 loops, repeat from [ ]’s in each of remaining ch-3 loops around to last 2 ch-3 loops, rep from [ ]’s 2 times in each of last 2 ch-3 loops, slip st to beg sc to join. Fasten off.
