5 . sl st in first 5-ch sp, sc in 3rd ch of sp, § 8 ch, sc in next sp, turn; 1 ch, 8 sc in 8-ch sp just made, 3 ch, turn; (dc, 2 ch) on each sc (=>8 sp), turn; in ea. 2-ch sp work 3 sc (#) (=>24 sc), turn; (picot, sk 2 sc, sc in next sc) 7 times, 3 ch, sc on last sc, sc on next 5-ch sp § . Repeat from § to § 7 times again; finish joining with a sl st in first sc between two dc in first petal (i.e. that made at point (#)); Cut thread, weave in ends.

N.B.

• Always substitute (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:

  • first sc with 1 ch, sc;
  • first hdc with 2 ch;
  • first dc with 3 ch;
  • first tr with 4 ch... and so on
• When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
• Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
