SPECIAL STITCHES

Invisible Finish
After completing the last st, cut the yarn
and pull on the loop to draw the tail. Using
the tapestry needle, skip the next st, and
insert the needle from front to back, under
both loops. Go back to the last st, and insert
the needle through the back loop of this st.
Pull on the tail.

Now, let's start !!

PETALS
Make 3 in peach and 3 in pink
Please work a little bit loosely while crocheting the
petals/skirt.
Crochet around the foundation chain. Work in
rows.
R1: Make foundation ch: 13ch, start from the
second loop from the hook: 4hdc, 5dc, 2hdc,
inc3 at the last chain. Then continue to work
using the other side of the chains: 2hdc, 5dc,

 Now we will work the skirt. Please remember to
work a little bit loosely and use normal decrease
instead of invisible decrease (only when working
the petal skirt). Attach a new piece of pink/peach
yarn onto the flat side of the pink petal.
For each color, join the petals with the yarn tail
using the whip stitch technique in 4 stitches. Do
this until all the petals in the same colors are
joined as a circle.
