DIRECTIONS

Flower

Beg at center, Ch 6, join with Sl St in first ch to form a ring.

Round 1 (RS): Ch 5 (counts as DC + 2 Ch sts), [DC into the ring, Ch 2] 7 times, join with Sl St into 3rd Ch of the Ch 5 at the beginning of the Rnd. Now you have 8 Ch-2 arches.

Round 2 (RS): Ch 1, work (SC, HDC, DC, TR, DC, HDC, SC) into each Ch-2 space. Sl St into Ch 1 in the beginning of Rnd 2.

Round 3 (WS): Turn work so that WS is facing. First locate the two strands that form the inverted “V” above the DC posts from Rnd 1 at beg of each petal. Ch1, insert hook under the right half of the first strand and into the left half of next strand and work Sl St. * Ch 3, work Sl St into next inverted “V” to the left; rep from * around. Sl St into Ch 1 in the beginning of Rnd 3.
