trebles on the inside and outside of the 2nd star. The 3rd star will
have: 1 crossed treble on the outside, 3 on the inside = the 4th: 2
crossed trebles inside, 2 outside = the 5th, the 6th, and the 7th: 1
inside, 3 outside = the 8th: 2 on the inside and outside = the 9th: 3
inside, 1 outside = the 10th: 2 outside, 2 inside = the 11th: 3 outside,
1 inside. For the next scallops, repeat from the 2nd to the 5th star.
