This set of instructions was made by Bethany simply by looking at the illustration because I'd got the danged link to the original instructions wrong. Thanks, Bethany!
Note: My version differs slightly than the original instructions, where I have double crochets, they used treble, but the overall appearance is the same. Also I did 3 rows of double crochet chain one spaces because I used the pattern for a baby blanket border in sport weight yarn and I added a ribbon in the middle of the 3 rows. Looks really pretty, so I added this row in the instructions if you wish to keep the pattern like the pictured pattern, just delete row number two.
Note: Corner instructions are following at the end as I did not make this a "project"; it is kind of open ended for the person so they can make it fit to their pattern
Note: Pattern is in multiples of 20.
Pattern Abbreviations:
sc - single crochet dc - double crochet opr - of previous row
ch - chain sp - space sk - skip
st - stitch rep - repeat slst - slip stitch
sp - space cl - cluster hdc - half double crochet

Row 3) dc, ch 1 in middle of 1st and 2nd dc opr; (1 dc, ch 1) twice in between
2nd and 3rd dc opr; (1 dc, ch 1) 4 times in the next sp; (1 dc, ch 1) twice
in between next two dc; 1 dc ch 1, in next sp (giving 10 dc and 10 ch 1 sp)
Row 4) worked same as row 4 above
Row 5) worked same as row 5 above
Row 6) worked same as row 6 above
Row 7) worked same as row 7 above
