Assembly

Medallions can be joined after each one is made, or as each successive medallion is made. For joining to a single medallion

i. Complete through Part 3.f of the second medallion

ii. sc into the back loop of the closest 4 sc from previous row starting with the one closest to the hook; ch 4;

- sc into the back loop of the next 4 sc on the arm; ch 2; ch 1 through the first loop of an arm of the first medallion; ch 1; (It doesn’t matter which arm as long as the line up correctly.)

Be sure that the medallions will have the same face forward as you sew them together, because it will be obvious latter on if you have one facing a different direction.

iii. [sc into the back loop of the next 4 sc on the arm; ch 4] twice; sc into the back loop of the last 5 sc on the arm; sc into the next sc from the initial ring (This completes the first arm of the second medallion.)

iv. Continue working through Part4.e of the next arm

v. sc into the outside tip of the arm on the first medallion that you have already attached to (Be careful not to add a twist to the medallions.)

vi. sc into the back loop of the closest 4 sc from previous row starting with the one closest to the hook;

- 2; ch 1 through the second ch 4 space on the next leg on the first medallion; ch 1; sc into the back loop of the next 4 sc on the arm you are currently working on

ii. [Ch 4; sc into the back loop of the next 4 sc] x 3, sc into the back loop of the last sc on the arm

viii. Sc into the next sc from Part 2

ix. Complete the rest of the medallion as before

For joining to multiple medallions

Start as if you are joining to a single medallion, instead of continuing with Step g,

ch 2; ch 1 through the first loop on the arm of the next medallion; ch 1; sc into the back loop of the next 4 sc on the medallion that you are building

[ch 4; sc into the back loop of the next 4 sc] x 2, sc into the back loop of the last sc on the arm

Continue from Part 4.h of the current arm through 4.e of the next arm

Continue on as you did joining to the first medallion from Step v

Continue like this until you have joined to as many medallions as you wish.

After you have finished attaching to as many medallions as you wish, complete the rest of the medallion starting with Part 4.g after the first picot.

After all medallions are finished weave in and trim ends.

Edging

After all the medallions have been made and attached together, and after all of the ends have been woven in:

Round 1 – With the right side of the doily facing you, choose a space between two medallions and attach thread to the picot on the left side.

a. Working to the left, ch 7

b. [sl st into the tip of the arm to the left; (ch 7; sl st into the picot on the left) twice; ch 7] twice

c. sl st into the tip of the arm to the left; ch 7; sl st into the picot on the left; ch 7

d. sl st into the picot on the next medallion; ch 7

Repeat Steps b through d around the doily 5 more times

Repeat Steps b through c once more

Sl st into where you joined the thread.
