Model Made by Shirley Guess and Donated to CP's library 12/96

S's notes: This is obviously just one motif! I didn't make the entire tablecloth. If anyone does, please let me know (shefog@nas.com) I'll gladly replace this picture with a picture of your tablecloth
I made this motif out of Lustersheen because I wanted something thicker to put under a plant or for a pillow. Since Lustersheen is equivalent to sport weight, the motif was much larger than the original pattern. It worked up into a 12 in square. sg

2nd rnd:ch6, *skip 1dc, dc in next dc, ch3. rep rnd, sl st in 3rd ch of ch6-12 sps

3rd rnd:sl st in next ch, sc in sp (ch7, sc in next sp)11 times, ch3, tr in first sc

4th rnd:sc in loop just made, *ch7, sc in net loop, ch2, 12 tr in next loop, ch2, sc in next loop. rep rnd, join

5th rnd:sl st in next 2ch of ch7 loop, ch3, in same loop make dc, ch2 and 2dc(shell); *(tr in next tr, ch1)11times, tr in next tr, in next ch7 loop make 2dc, ch2 and 2dc(shell). rep from * rnd. join

6th rnd:sl st in next dc and in sp, ch3, in same sp make dc, (ch2,2dc)twice; *ch4, sc in next ch1sp *ch3, sc in next sp)10times, ch4, in sp of net shell make (2dc, ch2)twice and 2dc. rep rnd, join

7th rnd:sl st in next dc and in sp, ch3, in same sp make dc, ch2 and 2dc;shell in next sp, *ch4, sc in next ch3 loop, (ch3, sc in next loop)9times, ch4, shell in next two ch2sps. rep rnd. Join
