EDGING
Rnd 1: With right side facing, join Variegated with sc in first sc on Row 275; sc in same st and in each sc across to last sc, 3 sc in last sc; sc in end of each row across; working in free loops of beginning ch, 3 sc in ch at base of first sc, sc in each ch across to last ch, 3 sc in last ch; sc in end of each row across and in same st as first sc; join with slip st to Back Loop Only of first sc: 634 sc.
Rnd 2: Ch 1, working in Back Loops Only, 2 sc in same st, † sc in next sc and in each sc across to center sc of next corner 3-sc group, 3 sc in center sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in each sc across to center sc of next corner 3-sc group †, 3 sc in center sc, repeat from † to † once, sc in same st as first sc; join with slip st to both loops of first sc: 644 sc.
Rnd 3: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), working in both loops, (dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in same st,
† ch 1, skip next sc, (dc in next 2 sc, ch 1, skip next sc) across to center sc of next corner 3-sc group †, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in center sc; repeat from 2 times more, then repeat from † to † once; join with slip st to first dc: 440 dc, 216 ch-1 sps, and 4 ch‑2 sps.

CROSS STITCH
Following instructions and chart, add cross stitch design to each Strip.
Each grey square on the chart represents one cross stitch. Each cross stitch is worked over one sc. To position design on Strip, match marked sc on Strip to the cross stitch marked with an X on chart. Using yarn needle and long strand of Variegated, weave end under several stitches on wrong side of Strip to secure (do not tie knot). With right side facing and Strip turned so marked sc is at top, work cross stitch as follows: bring needle up at 1, down at 2 (half cross made), up at 3, and down at 4 (cross stitch completed, Fig. 1). Beginning with marked sc, follow chart to add cross stitch design, repeat marked area 6 times more; then work remainder of design as shown on chart (for a total of eight fleur-de-lis motifs), leaving three unworked rows at bottom of Strip. All cross stitches should cross in the same direction. When working stitches in a horizontal row, work half crosses from left to right and then back again to complete stitches in row; when working stitches vertically, complete each stitch individually before moving down to the next one. Finish off by weaving end under several stitches on wrong side of Strip; cut yarn end close to work.
