Fan Medallion measures about 4½ inches on each straight edge.
Fan Medallion: * Ch 5, d c in 1st st of ch, working off only 2 loops, d c in same st, working off only 2 loops, thread over and draw through remaining loops on hook. Repeat from * making 40 scallops. Break thread but do not fasten off. 2nd row: Attach thread between 18th and 19th scallops, counting from start of row, ch 8, tr tr between 2nd and 3rd scallops to left, ch 8, s c between next 2nd and 3rd scallops to left. Fasten off. 3rd row: Attach thread between next 3rd and 4th scallops from start of last row. * Ch 6, Clones knot in 4th ch from hook. (To make Clones knot, thread over, insert hook in 4th ch from hook and draw up a loop, bring it forward and up and thread over again as for a d c. Continue to draw up loops from over and under the ch for 8 times (16 loops over hook). Draw thread through all loops on hook at once, thread over and draw through loop on hook, and make an s c around ch at base of knot, drawing tight which completes the knot.) Then ch 2, skip 2 sts of ch of last row, make long tr tr (thread over 5 times) in next st. Repeat from * 4 more times. Ch 6, knot, ch 2, s c between 3rd and 4th scallops.

Repeat from * along both sides of fan, making ch 7, d c in same st at point. Around curve of fan, ch 5, d c between next 2 scallops, joining last ch 5 to 3rd st of 1st ch 11. Fasten off.
Make 4 fan medallions for each plate doily and center runner. Pin medallions into shape and press with a damp cloth. Cut colored linen 12 by 18 inches for plate doilies and 12 by 30 inches for runner. Sew a fan medallion in place in each corner, making allowance that after linen is hemmed between medallions, the beading row of ch 5 and d c around curve of fan will extend out beyond edge of hemmed linen. Cut out corners of linen allowing ⅛ inch to turn back. Slash at inside corners. Work over edge of medallion and linen closely with Six Strand Floss, using 2 strands doubled. Then hem edges of linen between medallions and work a beading row across linen edges, joining the beading rows around curve of fans. Make beading rows ch 4, d c. When complete, work around doily with 4 s c over each ch and s c over s c. Edge.

Repeat from * around.
Circular Medallion for Runner. Make a row of 40 scallops as for 1st row of fan. Fasten off. Make another row of 20 scallops, sl st between 20th and 21st scallops of 1st row, then make 20 more scallops. Fasten off. Attach thread between 2nd and 3rd scallop of 1 row, counting from center crossing, * ch 8, d tr in center crossing, ch 8, 1 sl st between 2nd and 3rd scallops of next row. Repeat from * around and join with sl st to start of row and fasten off. 3rd row: Attach thread between next 3rd and 4th scallops and make same as 3rd row of fan, crossing over each of the 4 rows of scallops working around complete circle. 4th to 7th rows incl: Same as corresponding rows of fan. 8th row: Attach thread to end of 1 row of scallops, make * 5 scallops, long tr tr over next long tr tr of previous row and repeat from * 5 more times, joining to end of next row of scallops with 1 s c. Continue around. 9th row: Ch 9, 1 d c between next 2 scallops, * ch 5, 1 d c between next 2 scallops and repeat from * around. Fasten off. Set circular medallion into linen runner and finish with an edging the same as for the fan medallions.

Joining Motifs. Place motifs in position with the small motifs to fill in spaces left open by large motifs. With a sewing needle and crochet cotton, sew motifs together with 2 or 3 over and over stitches. Do not break off thread, but make a running stitch through the ch-loop on one motif to as far as center of next ch-loop. Be careful not to draw thread too tight. Take 2 or 3 over and over stitches in the center of this loop and the one on the other motif to join the 2 motifs together. Thus continue joining around blocks.
