Step by Step Instructions

Row 1: Center of the Flower

5. In every remaining stitch of the row, work 2 double crochets (increasing in each stitch).
6. At the end of the row, you should have a total of 30 double crochets.
7. Close the row with a slip stitch (sl st) into the top of the starting chain.

Row 3: Forming the Petals
