This was made for my friend Wendy, so that is what I decided to name it. It would look great in other colors, also.
Made with size #7 needle and #20 thread, but can be done with larger or smaller threads if desired.
Measures approx. 10½"x6¾". I hope I got this right, for Cm. 26.Cm X 17.Cm, if not would someone please correct me.

Center: Start with a clover

R 4ds + (to side p of clover) 4ds p 4ds p 4ds Cl Rw
Ch 4ds p 4ds Rw
Continue down for 9 rings in all, join side p's of each ring. Rw on 9th ring.
Ch 4ds Rw
Clover- same as at top.
Ch 4ds Rw
R 4ds + (to side p of clover)4ds p 4ds p 4ds Cl Rw
Ch 4ds + (to opposite p on ch) 4ds Rw
Continue down opposite side, joining each ring to side p's and chains to opposite side chains. Join last ring to side p of first clover made, and chain of 4ds to base of clover. Tie cut and hide ends.
Rd. 1- start on your right side of clover

Ch 4ds p 4ds Rw
Continue down from * 9 rings in all, joining each side ring and to center ring of center rd. and small chains)
Ch 4ds p 4ds p 4ds p 4ds Rw do as top **
Work around other side, chain of 4ds 3p's join to base of first ring made. Tie cut and hide ends.
Rd. 2 Start on right side again first p on the right of the long chain. As you work around top you will skip a picot, so you have two rings on one chain, and one ring on the next.
R 4ds p 4ds + (join to the p on the long chain on right) 4ds p 4ds Cl Rw
*Ch 4ds p 4ds p 4ds p 4ds Rw
R 4ds p 4ds + (skip one p join) 4ds p 4ds (you should have two rings on chain)
Ch same
R 4ds p 4ds + (join to center p of chain - so you have skipped a p) 4ds p 4ds Cl Rw
Ch same
R 4ds p 4ds + (skip one p) 4ds p 4ds Cl Rw

R 4ds p 4ds + (skip one p) 4ds p 4ds Cl Rw

Ch 4ds p 4ds Rw - (this is the side of small chains and ring joined to each other)
R 4ds + ( join to p of last ring) 4ds + (to center p of center round) 4ds p 4ds Cl Rw
Ch 4ds p 4ds Rw
Continue down for 10 rings in all, 10th ring is joined to the first picot of the long chain.
from there work from * joining last ring to first ring made, and small chain to base. Cut tie and hide ends.
Rd 3 Again start on your right side.
Work this round the same as round 2, so you have two rings on the first chain, one etc.
As you work down the side you will work 11 rings.
Rd 4 Start on right side - rings and chains are same as round 2.
Work around to top, stop at the 3rd set of double rings just made at very top.
Rw and do a very small 4ds chain Rw. < (This small chain will pull the last ring and the next ring together at the very top.)
Make your next ring on the first p of the next chain, 4ds +(to the side p of last ring, 4ds + (to the first p of next chain) 4ds p 4ds Rw
Ch 4-4-4-4 Rw
R skip one p
Ch and then work down to match opposite side.
Make your next small ch of 4ds p 4ds.
Rings on this side will total 12 in all.
Work around matching the top you just did and then back up the other side. cut tie and hide ends.
Rd 5 Again we will start on the long chain on your right side, except this time we will start in the center p of the chain. This is the last round and has clovers on the sides. The chains change here for 4 picots on the chains.
*R 4ds p 4ds + (join to center p of chain.) 4ds p 4ds Cl Rw
Ch 4ds p 4ds p 4ds p 4ds p 4ds Rw
R Same - join to center p of next ch. Cl Rw
Ch same
R Same - join to next chain center p Cl Rw
Ch same
R - DO 4 more rings and 3 chains. Stop at top
Long Chain here at top 4ds sep. by 7 picots each 4ds Rw
R work down side for 7 more rings.
Ch 4ds 4 p's sep. by 4ds each.
Clover: Skip a small chain to join on the clover
R 4ds p 4ds p 4ds p 4ds DNR
R 4ds + 8ds + (skip first small chain, join on p of second chain) 8ds p 4ds Cl DNR
R 4ds + 4ds p 4ds p 4ds Cl Rw
Ch same 4ds 4 p's
Do 4 more clovers over skipping one small chain, and joining on the side picot of each clover. You will have 5 clovers.
Ch again and start working around, form * make the 7 rings and then the long chain again.
Finish the other side with clovers, matching the opposite side. Last chain, join to the base of the first ring made, Tie cut and hide ends.
Block it out if need and starch. This was a long pattern, so I have tried to condense it to a shorter version. So if you should have any problems, please do not hesitate to ask on the boards about it.
Enjoy and have a great day.
