Starting at center, ch 12. Join with sl st to form ring.
1st rnd:  Ch 3, 29 dc in ring. Join with sl st to top of ch-3.
2nd rnd:  Ch 4, * dc in next dc, ch 1. Repeat from * around. Join to 3rd ch of ch-4 (30 sps).
3rd rnd:  * Sc in next ch-1 sp, ch 5. Repeat from * around. Join.
4th rnd:  Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, * ch 5, sc in next loop, ch 10, holding back on hook the last loop of each d tr make 5 d tr in next loop, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made), ch 10, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 10, sl st in first sc.
5th rnd:  Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, ch 10, * (sc in next ch-10 loop, ch 5) twice; d tr in next ch-5 loop, ch 5. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in 5th ch of ch-10.
6th rnd:  Sc in loop just made, * ch 5, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join.
7th rnd:  Sl st in next loop, ch 3, 5 dc in same loop, 6 dc in each loop around. Join.
8th rnd:  Ch 10 and complete a cross st as follows:
Thread over twice, insert hook in 8th ch from hook, draw through (4 loops on hook), thread over, skip next 2 dc and draw thread through next dc (6 loops on hook), thread over and take off 2 loops at a time, 5 times; * ch 3, thread over 4 times, skip next 2 dc, draw thread through next dc (6 loops on hook), thread over and take off 2 loops at a time, twice; thread over, skip 2 dc, draw thread through next dc (6 loops on hook), thread over and take off 2 loops at a time, 5 times; ch 3, dc in center of cross (cross completed). Repeat from * around. Join last ch-3 to 7th ch of ch-10 (30 cross sts).
9th rnd:  Sl st in next sp, ch 3, 3 dc in same sp, 4 dc in each sp around. Join.
10th rnd:  Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, skip next 2 dc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in first sc.
11th and 12th rnds:  * Ch 5, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in dc.
13th rnd:  Ch 3, 2 dc in loop just made, 3 dc in each loop around. Join.
14th rnd:  Repeat 8th rnd (40 cross sts).
15th rnd:  Repeat 9th rnd.
16th rnd:  Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, skip next 3 dc, sc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join (80 loops).

First Point...
1st row:  Sl st to center of next loop, in same loop make sc, ch 7 and sc; (ch 5, sc in next loop) 4 times; ch 5, 5-tr cluster in next loop, (ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop) 5 times. Ch 7, turn.
2nd row:  Sc in first loop, * ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop. Repeat from * across. Ch 7, turn.
3rd row:  Sc in first loop, * ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop. Repeat from * across to within loop over cluster, ch 5, 5 tr cluster in next loop, ** ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop. Repeat from ** across. Ch 7, turn.
4th to 9th rows incl:  Repeat 2nd and 3rd rows 3 more times. (1 cluster remains.) Ch 7, turn.
Second Point...
Attach thread to same loop on 16th rnd as last sc was made on first row of previous point, in same loop make sc, ch 7 and sc and complete as for previous point. Make 6 more points in this way.
Frill...
1st rnd:  Attach thread to first ch-7 loop made on any point, ch 3, 4 dc in same loop, (ch 5, 5 dc in next ch-7 loop) 4 times; * ch 5, innext ch-5 loop over cluster at point make 5 dc, ch 7 and 5 dc (shell made);(ch 5, 5 dc in next ch-7 loop) 10 times. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in top of starting ch-3.
2nd rnd:  Sc in loop just formed, * ch 7, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around, making a shell over shell. Join.
3rd rnd:  * 7 sc in each loop across to within shell, ch 7, make shell over shell, ch 7. Repeat from * around. Join.
4th rnd:  Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, skip next sc, sc in next sc. Repeat from * across to within ch-7 loop, 7 sc in ch-7 loop, ch 7, shell over shell, ch 7, 7 sc in next loop, ch 5, skip next sc, sc in next sc and complete rnd to correspond, ending with ch 2, dc in first sc.
5th rnd:  Sc in loop just formed, * ch 6, sc in within next loop. Repeat from * across to within next 7-sc group, (ch 6, skip next sc, sc in next sc) 3 times; ch 6, 7 sc in next loop, ch 7, shell over shell, ch 7, 7 sc in next loop, (ch 6, skip next sc, sc in next sc) 3 times; ch 6 and complete rnd to correspond, ending with ch 3, dc in first dc.
6th to 9th rnds incl:  Work as for 5th rnd, having an additional ch on each loop on each rnd. Break off at end of 9th rnd. Starch lightly and press.
