Start at center with Hunter's Green, ch 9.  Join with sl st to form ring.

1st rnd:  Ch 5, (tr in ring, ch 1) 17 times.  Join to 4th ch of ch-5.

2nd rnd:  Sl st in next sp, sc in same sp, * ch 5, sc in next sp.  Repeat from * around.  Join and break off.

3rd rnd:  Attach Shaded Lt. Yellows to any loop, sc in same loop, ch 3, sc in next loop, * ch 3, in next loop make (sc, ch 25) 5 times and sc; (ch 3, sc in next loop) twice. Repeat from * around.  Join.

4th rnd:  Sl st in next loop, sc in same loop, * ch 12, skip next ch-3 loop, (sc in next loop, ch 5) 4 times; sc in next loop, ch 12, skip next ch-3 loop, sc in next loop.  Repeat from * around.  Join and break off.

5th rnd:  Attach Hunter's Green to first ch-12 loop of any group, sc in same loop, * (ch 7, sc in next sp) 5 times; sc in next sp.  Repeat from * around.  Join.

6th rnd:  Sl st to center of next loop, ch 11, * (sc in next loop, ch 7) 3 times; holding back on hook the last loop of each tr, make tr in each of next 2 loops, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (joint-tr made), ch 7.  Repeat from * around, ending with tr in last loop.  Join to 4th ch of ch-11.

7th rnd:  Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, * ch 7, sc in next loop.  Repeat from * around.  Join and break off.

8th rnd:  Attach Shaded Lt. Yellow to loop preceding the loop directly over the joint-tr, sc in same loop, * ch 5, in next loop make (sc, ch 25) 5 times and sc; ch 5, sc in next loop.  Repeat from * around.  Join.

9th rnd:  Sl st to center of next loop, ch 15, * (sc in next loop, ch 5) 4 times; sc in next loop, ch 12, make a joint-dc over next 2 loops, ch 12.  Repeat from * around, ending with dc in last loop.  Join to 3rd ch of ch-15.  Break off.

10th rnd:  Repeat 5th rnd.

11th and 12th rnds:  Sl st to center of next loop, ch 11, * sc in next loop, ch 7, in next loop make (sc, ch 7) twice; sc in next loop, ch 7, make a joint-tr over next 2 loops, ch 7.  Repeat from * around.  Join to 4th ch of ch-11.  Break off at end of 12th rnd.

13th rnd:  Attach Shaded Lt. Yellows to 2nd loop following any joint-tr, sc in same loop, * ch 25, in next loop make (sc, ch 25) 6 times; (sc in next loop, ch 5) 3 times; sc in next loop.  Repeat from * around.  Join and break off.

14th rnd:  Attach Hunter's Green to first ch-25 loop, sc in same loop, * (ch 7, sc in next loop) 6 times; ch 11, skip next ch-5 loop, sc in next loop, ch 11, skip next loop, sc in next loop.  Repeat from * around.  Join.

15th rnd:  Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, * (ch 7, sc in next loop) 5 times; make a joint-tr over next 2 loops, ch 7, sc in next loop.  Repeat from * around. Join.

16th and 17th rnds:  Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, ch 7, sc in next loop, * ch 7, in next loop make (sc, ch 7) twice; (sc in next loop, ch 7) twice; make a joint-tr over next 2 loops, (ch 7, sc in next loop) twice.  Repeat from * around.  Join  Break off at end of 17th rnd.  Starch lightly and press.
