Repeat for desired length, example shown is approx. 7”.
SR: 3 + (to p of last SR)3/3 - 3 RW
CH: 3 - 3 RW
R: 3 + (to same p as last join) 3 - 3 + (to p of next SR) 3 RW
CH: 3 - 3 RW
Repeat R & CH to last SR

Work 2 SR across the end, join to adjacent picot RW

Second side:

Repeat CH RW
R: 3 + (to same p as last j) 3 + (to p of R on first side) 3 + (to p of next SR) 3 RW
