Then, when you are ready to join them together follow the directions provided, below. · sc around first motif (i.e. Motif #1) with (sc, ch 1, sc) into each corner. · With next motif (i.e. Motif #2), sc around motif to the corner where motifs need to be joined, ch 1 [Figure 1]. Drop loop from hook. Insert hook from front to back into corner of Motif #1. Pull up dropped loop through this corner [Figure 2 & 3]. sc into corner of Motif #2 [Figure 4]. ·Drop loop from hook. Insert hook from front to back into corresponding sc in Motif #1. Pull up dropped loop through this sc [Figures 5 & 6]. Sc into dc (i.e. next st) of Motif #2 [Figure 7]. Drop loop from hook. Insert hook from front to back into corresponding sc in Motif #1. Pull up dropped loop through this sc [Figures 8 & 9]. · Continue in the above manner until motifs are joined [Figure 10]. · Complete the sc stitches around Motif #2 & fasten off [Figures 11 & 12].
