Instructions (U.K. Terminology)

1. Special Stitches: Cluster - This is primarily made up of double treble clusters. A double treble cluster is 4 double treble together in 1 stitch. Like a usual double treble,* yarn over twice, insert your hook into the stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops on the hook, yarn over pull through 2 loops on the hook, this time do not finish the stitch, you know have 2 loops left on your hook*, repeat this 3 more times. You will end up with 5 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook. This will be known as cl (cluster)
2. Foundation Row:
3. Rnd 1: *ch5, cl into the mr, ch5, dc1 into the magic ring*. Rep from * to * 3 more times.
4. Rnd 2: (You will be working into 1st ch after the cluster on the last round.) *(dtr4, ch1, dtr4. Ch1,dtr4) into the same space, dc1 into the dc on the prev round.* rep * to * 3 more times. Cut the yarn and change colour, rejoin yarn in the ch1 space after the first set of 4 dtr.
5. Rnd 3: dc1 in the same space as the rejoined yarn, *ch5, dtr4 cl bp of the next 4 dtr from the prev round, ch5 dc1 in the dc of the prv round. Next we will work into the side space, this looks like a v. now we will make a dtr8 cluster bp over the next 4 from 1 side of the v and 4 from the other side. dc1 in dc from prv round* rep from * to * 3 more times.
6. Rnd 4: (again will be working into 1st ch after the cluster on the last round.) *(dtr4, ch1, dtr4. Ch1, dtr4) into the same space, dc1 into the dc on the prev round.(these sets of dtr4, ch1, dtr4, ch1, dtr4 make up the corners) now working along the side, (dtr4, ch1, dtr4) into the same space at the top of the dtr8 cluster in the prev round, dc1 into the dc on the prev round.* rep from * to * 3 more times
7. Pattern Repeat: Rep rounds are 3-4 cutting and rejoining the yarn as you go. The corners will always remain the same but your sides will get longer. You will just be making for sets of dtr8 clusters and( dtr4, ch1,d tr4) in the appropriate rounds.
