Round 3: Ch 2, dc2tog in same space (together counts as cluster), [ch 2, cluster in next dc] 3 times, ch 3, cluster in next dc, [ch 2, cluster in next dc] 3 times, ch 3** Repeat from ** to ** around. Join with a sl st to the 1^st cluster.

Round 4: Sl st in next ch-2 space, ch 2, dc2tog in same space, [ch 3, cluster in the next ch-2 space] 2 times, ch 3, sc in ch-3 space, ch 3, **cluster in the next ch-2 space, [ch 3, cluster in the next ch-2 space] 2 times, ch 3, sc in ch-3 space, ch 3** Repeat from ** to ** around. Join with a sl st to the 1^st cluster.

Round 5: Sl st in next ch-3 space, ch 2, dc2tog in same space, ch 3, cluster in next ch-3 space, ch 4, sc in next ch-3 space, ch 5, sc in next ch-3 space, ch 4, **cluster in the next ch-3 space, ch 3, cluster in the next ch-3 space, ch 4, sc in ch-3 space, ch 5, sc in next ch-3 space, ch 4** Repeat from ** to ** around. Join with a sl st to the 1^st cluster.

Round 6: Sl st in next ch-3 space, ch 2, dc2tog in same space, ch 3, sl st in the cluster (picot), ch 4, sc in next ch-4 space, ch 7, sc in the next ch-5 space, ch 7, sc in next ch-4 space, ch 4, **cluster in next ch-3 space, picot, ch 4, sc in ch-4 space, ch 7, sc in ch-5 space, ch 7, sc in ch-4 space, ch 4** Repeat from ** to ** around. Join with a sl st to the cluster.

Joining the motifs

Only the first motif is worked completely. Work 5 rounds of the 2nd motif. Then work 1 side of the 6th round up to the 2nd cluster. We'll make the 1st joint at the picots. Work 2 ch, sl st in any picot of the 1st motif, ch 2, sl st above the cluster of the 2nd motif finishing the picot, ch 4, sc in the next ch-sp of the 2nd motif, ch 3, sl st in the ch-7 space of the 1st motif, ch 3, sc in next ch-sp of the 2nd motif, ch 3, sl st in the next ch-7 space of the 1st motif, ch 3, sc in next ch-sp of the 2nd motif, ch 4, cluster in the ch-3 space between the two clusters, ch 2, sl st in the next picot of the 1st motif, ch 2, sl st above the cluster of the 2nd motif finishing the picot. Complete the rest of the round as usual. Similarly join moitfs in a row. In the next row you'll be joining the motifs between the 2 motifs above.
