Size :4 inches (10 centimeters) diameter

Stitches : ch, sl st, sc, dc, tr, picot (4 ch, sl st in first ch), 3-tr cluster = tr not closed on first st, tr not closed on second st, tr closed with prev two on third st.

Difficulty: easy/medium

Start with 15 ch, join with sl st to first ch

1. 3 ch, 35 dc in lp; join with sl st to first st.

2. *3-tr cluster on next 3 dc 3 ch, picot, 3 ch*; Repeat * to * 12 times, join with sl st to first petal.Cut thread.

3. Join thread with sc in a picot sp, *(5 ch, sc in next picot) twice, 10 ch, sc in next picot*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

4. *(dc on sc, 5 dc in next sp) 3 times, (2 dc, 2 ch, 2 dc) = corner in same space,5 dc in same sp*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st.

5. dc on ea dc, corner in ea corner sp

6.sl sts to reach next corner sp, *(sc, 9 ch, sc) in corner sp, (5 ch, skip 2 dc, sc in next dc) 10 t, 5 ch*; Repeat * to * 4 times, join with sl st to first st. Cut thread

NOTE: the pattern is for the first motif; the second one is joined with previous on a side substituting the Round 6 of the pattern , on the last side with:(4 ch, sl st in corner of previous motif, 4 ch, sc), (2 ch, sl st in corresp loop of first motif, 2 ch, sk 2 dc, sc in next ch) 10 times>

You will obtain a strip of motifs; on the second and following strips, the motifs are joined on two sides: with the previous motif on same strip, and to corresponding motif on previous strip. I hope I have been clear, if you have problems, write me!

N.B.

• Substitute ever (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.
