9th rnd: Same as 16th rnd of centerpiece, making (ch-3, sc in next ch-1 sp) 9 times—instead of 11 times. 10th rnd: (Ch 3, sc in next loop) 8 times, * ch 3, Shell over next shell; (ch 3, sc in next loop) 9 times. Repeat from * around, ending with sl st in sc at base of 1st loop made. Fasten off. Work is now done in rows. 11th row: Attach thread to ch-2 of next shell of previous rnd, ch 3; make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc in same shell; (ch 3, sc in next loop) 8 times; ch 3, shell over next shell. Ch 3, turn. 12th row: Shell over shell; (ch 3, sc in next loop) 7 times; ch 3, shell over next shell; ch 3, turn. Continue in this manner, having 1 ch-3 loop less on each row until 16th row is completed. 17th row: Same as 37th row of centerpiece. Fasten off. Attach thread to ch-2 of next shell on 10th rnd and complete the next point in same manner. Continue thus until all 7 points have been worked. Then work as follows:
1st rnd: Attach thread to tip of any point where shells were joined, ch 3; in same place where thread was attached make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc. * (Ch 3, shell in next turning ch) 3 times, ch 2, dc in next turning ch, skip next shell, dc under starting ch of next shell, (ch 3, shell in next turning ch) 3 times, ch 3, shell in tip of point, where shells meet. Repeat from * around. Join. 2nd rnd: Sl st in next dc and in next sp, ch 8 (to count as dc and ch-5 for a picot), sc in 5th ch from hook—a p made. Dc in same place as sl st, * ch 3, sc under next ch-3, ch 3; in next shell make dc, p and dc. Repeat from * 2 more times, ch 3, sc between next 2 dc, ch 3; in next shell make dc, p and dc. Ch 3, sc under next ch-3. Continue thus around. Join and fasten off.
GLASS DOILIES (Make 4)... Starting at center, ch 8. Join. 1st rnd: Ch 3, 19 dc in ring. Join. 2nd rnd: Ch 3, dc in same place as sl st, * ch 2, skip 1 dc, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, sl st in 3rd st of ch-3 first made (10 dc-groups). 3rd rnd: Sl st in next dc and in next sp, ch 3. In same sp make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc, * ch 3, shell in next sp. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, sl st in top st of ch-3 first made. 4th rnd: Ch 3; in same sp make dc, ch 5 and 2 dc, * ch 4, shell in sp of next shell, ch 4. In sp of next shell make 2 dc, ch 5 and 2 dc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 4, sl st in top st of ch-3 first made. 5th rnd: Same as 7th rnd of bread and butter plate doily (5 tr-groups in rnd). Work remainder of this doily as for bread and butter plate doily. Block all pieces to measurements given.
