Try using a thick yarn & bigger hook to make large.
NOTE: Color changes are not indicated in pattern.
SPECIAL STITCHES:
Puff Stitch: yo, insert hook in st, pull this and all the loops up to the height of a dc,
(yo, insert hook in same st, pull up a loop) 3 more times, yo and pull through all
loops on hook. Ch 1 to close the stitch.
START
In a magic ring make 5 sc (don’t join, you will make a small spiral)
ROW 1
2 sc in first 2 sts, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next 2 sts, join to 1st sc of round (9 sc)
ROW 2
Ch 2, Puff st in same st as join, ch 1 (this is in addition to closing ch of Puff st).
(Puff st, ch1) in each st around – 9 puff sts, 9 ch spaces). Join to first puff st with a sl st.
ROW 3 (SPOKES FOR PETALS)
You will be creating something that looks likes spokes on a wheel to make a base
for each petal. Join the aqua and blue in any ch space between puff sts. Sc in same sp, ch
7. Working back down the ch – sk first ch, sc in next 6 ch. 2 sc in same ch space. *(2 sc in
next sp, ch 7, sk 1st ch, sc in next 6 ch, 2 sc in same sp) repeat from * around. 1 sc in
starting sp. Don’t join. 9 spokes formed
ROW 4 (PETALS)
*Sc in first sc. Now working up the spoke: sc in remaining loop on first ch of the
first spoke. Hdc in next ch, dc in next 2 ch, tr in next 2 ch.
Working into the chain that you skipped when you turned
at the top of the spoke: make 5 dc into the skipped ch.
Now working into the sc on the other side of the spoke:
tr in first 2 sc, dc in next 2 sc, hdc in next, sc in next in next, now working
between the spokes, sc in next sc, sk 2 sc (between the spokes). Repeat from * around. Join
to first sc.
Fasten off.
ROW 5 (EDGING)
Remove hook from loop, insert hook in the last sc of the petal you just made,
then insert hook back into the loop, and then from back to front in the first sc of the next
petal, yo and pull through all loops on hook. *Sl st in next st and in each st around petal to the last sc on the petal – as you go around the curve of the petal, pull your sl sts long enough so your petals stay flat. Insert hook in the sc, then skip 2 sts and insert your hook into the first sc on the next petal from back to front, yo and pull through all loops on hook. Repeat from * around.
On the last petal, sl st into the last hdc, then into the starting joining st.
Fasten off.
