LARGE MAT … Starting at center, ch 8. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 1, work 12 sc in ring. Join with sl st in 1st sc. 2nd rnd: Ch 4, * dc in next sc, ch 1. Repeat from * around, joining last ch 1 with sl st in 3rd st of starting chain (12 sps). 3rd rnd: Ch 6, dc in same place as sl st, * in next dc make dc, ch 3 and dc. Re­peat from * around. Join with sl st in 3rd st of starting chain. 4th rnd: Make 5 sc in each ch-3 sp around. Join. 5th rnd: Ch 7, * skip next sc, tr in next sc, ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st in 4th st of starting chain. 6th rnd: Ch 4, tr in next tr, * ch 5, hold­ing back the last loop of each tr on hook make tr in same place as last tr, tr in next tr, thread over and draw through all loops on hook. Repeat from * around. Join. 7th rnd: Make 5 sc in each ch-5 sp around. Join. 8th rnd: Sl st in next 2 sc, ch 9, * skip 4 sc, tr in next sc, ch 5. Repeat from * around, joining last ch-5 with sl st in 4th st of starting chain. 9th rnd: Work same as 6th rnd, having ch-7 sps instead of ch-5 sps. 10th rnd: Make 9 sc in each ch-7 sp around. Join. 11th rnd: Sl st in next 3 sc, ch 1, * sc in next sc, ch 11, skip 8 sc. Repeat from * around. Join. 12th rnd: Make 13 sc in each sp around. Join. 13th rnd: Sl st in next 5 sc, ch 1, * sc in next sc, ch 11, skip 12 sc. Repeat from * around. Join. 14th rnd: Same as 12th rnd.
   15th rnd: Sl st in next 5 sc, ch 1, * sc in next sc, ch 13, skip 12 sc. Re­peat from * around. Join. 16th rnd: Make 15 sc in each sp around. Join. 17th rnd: Sl st in next 7 sc, ch 4, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook, make 2 tr in same place as last sl st, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (a 2-tr cluster made); * (ch 5, make a 2-tr cluster in 5th ch from hook) twice; skip 14 sc, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook make 3 tr in next sc, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (a 3-tr cluster made). Re­peat from * around. Join. 18th rnd: Ch 4, 2-tr cluster in same place as sl st, * ch 5, 2-tr cluster in 5th ch from hook, skip next cluster, 3-tr cluster in base of next cluster, ch 5, 2-tr cluster in 5th ch from hook, skip next cluster, 3-tr cluster in top of next cluster. Re­peat from * around. Join. 19th rnd: Ch 4, 2-tr cluster in same place as sl st, * ch 5, 2-tr cluster in 5th ch from hook, 3-tr cluster in top of next cluster. Repeat from * around. Join. 20th, 21st and 22nd rnds: Ch 4, 2-tr cluster in same place as sl st, * ch 6, 2-tr cluster in 5th ch from hook, ch 1, 3-tr cluster in top of next 3-tr cluster. Repeat from * around. Join. 23rd rnd: Ch 4, 2-tr cluster in same place as sl st, * ch 7, make a 2-tr cluster in 6th ch from hook, ch 1, 3-tr cluster in top of next 3-tr cluster. Repeat from * around. Join. 24th rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, * ch 11, sc in top of next 3-tr cluster. Repeat from * around. Join. 25th rnd: Work 13 sc in each sp around. Join and break off.

SMALL MAT (Make 4) … 1st to 10th rnds incl: Work 1st to 10th rnds incl of Large Mat. 11th rnd: Sl st in next 4 sc, ch 4, 2-tr cluster in same place as last sl st, * ch 5, 2-tr cluster in 5th ch from hook, skip 8 sc, 3-tr cluster in next sc. Repeat from * around. Join. 12th rnd: Same as 20th rnd of Large Mat. 13th rnd: Same as 24th rnd of Large Mat. 14th rnd: Same as 25th rnd of Large Mat. Starch lightly and press.
