🔵 BEFORE YOU BEGIN (Important for Intermediate Level)
This motif builds in layers:
-
Solid center
-
Chain arches
-
Petal clusters
-
Lace expansion rounds
-
Final shaping & edging
Maintain:
-
Even tension (not tight, not loose)
-
Clear stitch placement
-
Accurate stitch counting each round
If your motif curls → tension too tight.
If it ripples → too many stitches or loose tension.
🟡 ROUND 1 — CENTER FOUNDATION
Step 1: Create a Magic Ring
-
Wrap yarn around fingers to form a loop.
-
Insert hook into loop.
-
Yarn over, pull through.
-
Chain 1 to secure.
Step 2: Work Double Crochets into Ring
-
Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
-
Work 11 dc into the ring.
-
Pull the yarn tail tightly to close the circle.
-
Sl st into the top of beginning ch-3.
✔ You now have 12 dc total forming a flat circle.
Tip:
Make sure your stitches sit evenly and the ring is fully tightened so no hole remains.
🟡 ROUND 2 — CREATE ARCH SPACES
This round builds the base for petals.
-
Ch 1 (does NOT count as stitch).
-
Sc into same stitch.
-
Ch 5.
-

-
Sc into next stitch.
-
Ch 5.
-
Repeat (skip 1, sc, ch 5) around entire circle.

These loops are the petal foundation arches.
