Join. 2ND RND: Sl st in next sc, ch 4, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr, make 2 tr in same place as sl st, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made), ch 5, make a 3-tr cluster in same place, * ch 5, skip 3 sc, make a cluster over next 3 sc. Repeat from * across to next corner, in center sc at corner make cluster, ch 5 and cluster. Complete other sides and corners the same way. Join and break off. 3RD RND: Attach blue to any corner sp, in same sp make sc, ch 5 and sc; * ch 5, make a dc cluster by making dc in same sp, in tip of next cluster and in next sp. Repeat from * across to next corner, ending with last dc of cluster in corner sp, ch 5, in same sp make sc, ch 5 and sc; ch 5 and complete other sides and corners the same way. Join and break off. 4TH RND: Attach white to any corner loop, ch 3, make a dc cluster by making dc in next sc and in next sp, * ch 5, cluster by making dc in same sp, in tip of next cluster and in next sp. Repeat from * across to next corner, ending with last dc in sp preceding sc, ch 5, make a cluster by making dc in same sp, in sc and in next sp, ch 5, cluster by making dc in same sp, in next sc and in next sp. Complete other sides and corners the same way. Join and break off. 5TH AND 6TH RNDS: Repeat 3rd and 4th rnds once more.

This is a vintage pattern from Coat's & Clark, 1955. I hope you enjoy making it.
