Special Stitches:
shell = make 3 dc in one ch or space.

cluster (cl)= (yo, insert hook, yo, draw up a loop, yo, draw thru 2 loops) 3 times in same
ch or space. Yo draw thru all 4 lps.

Instructions:
Chain 164,
Row 1: Shell in 6th ch from hook, (ch 1, sk 2 ch, shell in next ch) 2 times,
*ch 1, skip 2 ch, (shell, ch-3, shell) in next ch, (ch 1, sk 2 ch,
shell in next ch) 2 times, Ch 1, skip 2 ch, cl in next ch, skip 4, cl in next ch,
(ch 1, skip 2 ch, shell), 2 times, repeat from * 5 more times.
Ch 1, skip 2 ch, (shell, ch 3, shell) in next ch, (ch 1, sk 2 ch, shell in next ch) 3 times.
Do not ch 1, skip ch, dc in last ch, turn. (7 “peaks”, and 6 “valleys”)

Row 2: Ch 3, skip next shell, (shell in ch-1 sp, ch 1) 3 times.

* (shell, ch 3, shell ) in next ch-3 sp, (ch 1, shell in next ch-1 sp) 2 times.
Ch 1, cl in next ch-1 sp, skip 2 cl sts, cl in next ch-1 sp,
(ch 1, shell in next ch-1 sp) 2 times, ch 1; Repeat from * across 5 more times.
(shell, ch 3, shell ) in next ch-3 sp, (ch 1, shell in next ch-1 sp) 3 times.
Do not ch 1, Dc in top of turning-ch, turn.

Remaining rows: Repeat Row 2.

Edging: Sc in each dc and ch across top skipping the cluster stitches and making 2 sc in
the center ch of the ch-3 peaks. Sc down the side making 1 sc in the ch-3's and 2 sc in the
dcs. Place 2 sc in the corner stitches. Sc across the beginning chain skipping 3 ch's below
the 2-shell inside corner, and placing 2 sc in each of the center 2 skipped chs between the
clusters. Sc up the other side in the same manner as the first side. Sl st in first sc, break
