By the time it reaches the final rounds, it’s almost like frost on a window or sunlight caught in a net — all those loops and picots turning simple stitches into something soft, open, and a bit magical.
1st Row. Ch 8, join to form a ring, ch 4 and work 23 trc into ring, join in 4th st of ch.
2nd Row. Ch 7, skip 2 trc, sc in next trc, repeat from * 6 times, ch 3, dc in same space with joining (this brings thread in position for next row).
3rd Row. Ch 8, sc in next loop, repeat from * 6 times, ch 3, trc in dc.
4th Row. * Ch 10, sc in next loop, repeat from * 6 times, ch 5, trc in trc.
5th Row. * Ch 8, sc in next loop, ch 8, sc in same loop, repeat from * 6 times, ch 8, sc in next loop, ch 4, trc in trc.
6th Row. * Ch 8, sc in next loop, repeat from * 14 times, ch 4, trc in trc.
7th Row. * Ch 9, sc in next loop, repeat from * 14 times, ch 5, trc in trc.
8th Row. * Ch 8, sc in next loop, ch 8, sc in same loop, repeat from * 14 times, ch 8, sc in next loop, ch 4, trc in trc.
9th Row. ** Ch 4, sc in next loop, ch 4, sc in next loop, * ch 15, sc in same loop, repeat from * 4 times, repeat from ** 15 times, join, break thread.
10th Row. Join thread in 1st 15 ch loop, * ch 7, sc in next loop, repeat from * 3 times, sc in next loop, then repeat from first * 14 times, * ch 7, sc in next loop, repeat from * twice, ch 3, trc in next loop.
11th Row. ** sc in next loop, * ch 7, sc in next loop, repeat from * twice, repeat from ** 14 times, * ch 7, sc in next loop, repeat from *, ch 3, trc in trc.
12th Row. * Ch 7, sc in next loop, repeat from * 46 times, ch 3, trc in trc.
Next 2 Rows. Same as last row.
Next 2 Rows. Work in 8 ch loops ending each row with ch 4, trc in trc.
17th Row. Ch 3, 4 dc over loop, * 5 dc, ch 5, 5 dc over next loop, repeat from * all around ending row with 5 dc over 1st loop, ch 5, join in 3rd st of ch.
18th Row. Sl st to next 5 ch loop, ch 3, 2 dc in same loop, ch 11, 3 dc in next 5 ch loop, repeat from * 46 times, ch 6, d trc in 3rd st of ch.
19th Row. Ch 3, 2 dc over same loop, * ch 11, 3 dc in next loop, repeat from * 46 times, ch 6, d trc in 3rd st of ch.
20th Row. Repeat last row but work 12 ch loops between groups of dc.
21st Row. Ch 3, 2 dc over same loop, * ch 11, sl st in 5th st from hook for picot, ch 6, sl st in 1st ch for picot, ch 5, sl st in 1st ch for picot, sl st in 1st picot, ch 6, 3 dc over next loop, repeat from * all around, working ch 6, 3 picot group, ch 6 to complete row, join, break thread.
