Made in honor of Marc Fucarile.

Hook: Boye

Finished Size: ~4” x 64”

This is far less complicated than it looks. Just requires careful counting!

Didn’t like the way the pattern was written so I made the motifs in a way that made more sense to me.

Swirl motifs - Make 14
With blue make magic ring
1: Ch 1, sc, hdc, 2 dc into ring, remove hook and pm. (4 sts)
2: With yellow, join with sl st in ring, ch 1, sc, hdc, 2 dc into ring, 2 dc in each of 4 blue sts (8 sts)
3: With blue, 2 dc in each of 12 yellow sts (24 dcs)
4: With yellow, 2 dc in each of next 11 blue sts. Last stitch will be in the 15th blue st. (22 dcs)
5: With blue, 2 dc in each of next 3 yellow sts. Last stitch will be in the 15th yellow st. (6 dcs)

34 sts in each spiral - sc, hdc, 2 dc half base and 15 2-dc clusters.

End Motifs - Make 2
With blue make magic ring
1: Ch 1, sc, hdc, 2 dc into ring, remove hook and pm. (4 sts)
2: With yellow, join with sl st in ring, ch 1, sc, hdc, 2 dc into ring, 2 dc in each of 4 blue sts (8 sts)
3: With blue, 2 dc in each of 12 yellow sts (24 dcs)
4: With yellow, 2 dc in each of next 11 blue sts. Last stitch will be in the 15th blue st. (22 dcs)
5: With blue, 2 dc in each of next 7 yellow sts, dc in next st, hdc in next st, sc in next st, sl st in next st. Last stitch will be in the 24th yellow st. (18 sts)

34 sts in yellow spiral: sc, hdc, 2 dc half base and 15 2-dc clusters.
46 sts in blue spiral: sc, hdc, 2 dc half base and 19 2-dc clusters, dc, hdc, sc, sl st.

Swirl motif requires 2-3g of each color.
End motif requires 2-3g of yellow, 5-6g of blue.
Total round motifs needed: 16

Joining
Sew in center ends.
1: Join 12 swirl motifs in 2s (6 S motifs).
2: Join 2 swirl motifs to 2 end motifs (2 S motifs for each end).
3: Join 6 S motifs (3 double S motifs).
4: Join end S motifs to 2 double S motifs.
5: Join all 3 pieces together making sure end pieces are on the ends!

Whipstitch through back loops only for 2 stitches on either side of join. This stabilizes the S so it won’t twist. Sew ends in.
