OVAL COVER
Starting at center, make (1) chain 3 inches long.
First Rnd: Make 3 Dc in 4^th Ch from hook, Dc in each Ch across, 7 Dc in last Ch;
working along opposite side of starting chain, make Dc in each Ch across,
3 Dc in same place where first 3 Dc were made.
Join with SLst in top st of starting chain.
2^nd Rnd: Ch 3, Dc in same place as SLst,
2 Dc in each of next 3 Dc, Dc in each Dc across to the 7 Dc at other end,
2 Dc in each of next 7 Dc, Dc in each Dc to last 3 Dc, 2 Dc in each of last 3 Dc. Join.
3^rd Rnd: Ch 1, Sc in same place as SLst. Inc across curve as follows:
(Ch 2, skip next Dc, Sc in next Dc) 4 times. Work along straight edge as follows:
* Ch 2, skip next 2 Dc, Sc in next Dc.
rep. from * across to the 14 Dc at other end. Inc across curve as follows:
(Ch 2, skip next Dc, Sc in next Dc) 7 times. Work along straight edge as follows:
** Ch 2, skip next 2 Dc, Sc in next Dc.
rep. from ** across to last 5 Dc, inc across curve as follows:
(Ch 2, skip 1 Dc, Sc in next Dc) twice;
Ch 2, join with SLst in first Sc made.
4^th Rnd: Ch 3, (3 Dc in next sp, Dc in next Sc) 4 times;

* 2 Dc in next sp, Dc in next Sc.
rep. from * across to curve at other end, (3 Dc in next sp, Dc in next Sc) 7 times;
** 2 Dc in next sp, Dc in next Sc.
rep. from ** across to last 3 sps, (3 Dc in next sp, Dc in next Sc) twice;
3 Dc in last sp. Join.
5^th Rnd: Ch 3, Dc in each Dc around,
increasing as necessary across curved ends to keep work flat. Join.
Cont. working 1 Rnd of sps and 2 Rnds of Dc,
increasing as necessary across curved ends
to keep work flat until piece measures 1/2 inch smaller than desired size,
end with- 2^nd Rnd of Dcs.

Now work edging as follows:
First Rnd:
* Ch 3, holding back the last lp of each Dc on hook make 2 Dc in same place as SLst,
yarn over and draw through all lps on hook
(2-Dc cluster made), Ch 4, make (1) 2-Dc cluster in 4^th Ch from hook, skip 3 Dc, SLst in next Dc.
rep. from * around, joining last cluster with SLst in base of first cluster.
2^nd Rnd: SLst to top of first cluster, Ch 1, Sc between clusters,
* (Ch 4, 2-Dc cluster in 4^th Ch from hook) twice;
Sc between next 2 clusters.
rep. from * around. Join and Tie off.

Round Cover
Starting at center, Ch 4.
First Rnd: 13 Dc in 4^th Ch from hook.
Join with SLst in 3^rd st of starting chain.
2^nd Rnd: Ch 3, Dc in same place as SLst, 2 Dc in each Dc Rnd. Join.
3^rd Rnd: Ch 1, Sc in same place as SLst,
* Ch 2, skip next Dc, Sc in next Dc.
rep. from * around, joining last Ch-2 with SLst in first Sc.
4^th Rnd: Ch 3,
* 3 Dc in next sp, Dc in next Sc.
rep. from * around. Join.
5^th Rnd: Ch 3, Dc in each Dc around,
increasing as necessary to keep work flat (about 14 Dc). Join.
Rep. 3^rd , 4^th and 5^th Rnds until piece measures 1/2 inch smaller than desired size,
end with- 5^th Rnd.
Work edging same as edging on Oval Cover. Tie off.
Starch lightly and press.
