Taken from the pattern (under small motif iii), Sew 4 small motifs tog to form large motif. There are 8 large Motifs I, 6 large Motifs II and 3 large Motifs III. You could use all the same small motifs in a large one, or mix them up. I hope that helps.

So very pretty in these tonal denim blues. This is the perfect project for those of us who want more of a challenge that just a back and forth row by row afghan. The combinations of the colors and then taking the extra time to join all the motifs together make this a highly satisfying project you will be proud to show off.

So much fun, and a quick switch out of colors makes this adaptable to just any use, even the amounts are clearly stated.A good go to pattern

For those who want to make the picture larger too see the details, you can press Ctrl and the plus key at the same time. You don't have to use the shift for the plus key (it's the "equals" key, too). This will make the pic larger each time you press the two keys. Also, I've found that a lot of the time, you can go to the site for the recommended yarn, in this case, Bernat. The home sites usually have the pattern in a PDF formula. You may have to create a login, but that's a way you can save the patterns. I've also highlighted the entire pattern, used the right mouse button to copy, then open a new word document, and then paste (right mouse button, click paste) in to the document.

I would like if the patterns would be available also in PDF, so I could put it in my files... I don't always like to have to turn on the computer to make crochet, most part of times I print them.

Click on motif chart in the materials list. That gives you the diagram for joining motifs. =)
