PATTERN

Row 1:
Picture 1: Ch 3,

Picture 2: 1 tr in the 3rd ch from your hook (this will create the center of the flower),

Picture 3: ch 3,

Picture 4: dtr3tog (petal) in the ring between the tr’s,

Picture 5: *ch 3, 1 tr in the 3rd ch from your hook,

Picture 6: ch 3, dtr3tog in the ring between the tr’s*,

Picture 7: repeat between *-* until you got 45 petals, ch 4.

Row 2: Now we are working backwards along the upper side of the petals.

Picture 8 and 9: dtr4tog in the last ring you made,

Picture 10: ch 4, dtr4tog in same ring, (3 petals in the ring),

Picture 11 and 12: *(dtr4tog, ch 4, dtr4tog) in ne ring*,

Picture 14 and 15: ch 4 (turn your work and work in the opposite side of the petals), dtr4tog, ch 4, dtr4tog, ch 4, dtr4tog) in same ring.

Row 3:

Piture 16: *(dtr4tog, ch 4, dtr4tog) in ne ring*, repeat *-* until you’ve done the last ring, ch 4, slst in the dtr3tog. Cut the yarn.

You have done your first garland of flowers

The following garlands are joined together in row 2 with the previous garlands row 3.

Every following garland should be decreased with one petal.

Row 1:

Picture 17: Ch 3, 1 tr in the 3rd ch from your hook (creates the center of the flower), ch 3, dtr3tog (petal) in the ring between the 2 tr’s, *ch 3, 1 tr in the 3rd ch from your hook, ch 3, dtr3tog in the ring*, repeat *-* until you’ve got 44 petals, ch 3.

Row 2: Now we are working backwards along the upper side of the petals and join with the previous garland. You should have the first garland with the right side faceing up. Start to the right when it’s time to join. Keep an eye on the second garnland so they dont twist around when you join them.

Picture 18 and 19: Slst in ch4sp between the 2 petals pointing down at the last flower in previous garland,

Picture 20: ch 2, (dtr4tog in the ring,

Picture 21: ch 2, slst between ne two dtr4tog in previous garland,

Picture 27: ch 4, dtr4tog, ch 4, dtr4tog) in the ring.

Row 3: *(dtr4tog in ne ring, ch 4, dtr4tog in same ring) *, repeat until you’ve done with the last ring, ch 4, slst in the dtr3tog. Cut the yarn.

Continue to make garlands and join them together until you have 18 garlands all joined together. The last garland should have 28 petals.

Fasten all your loose ends.

Now we shall make a 2round edge around the whole piece.

With the right side faceing up, start in the lower left hand corner (in the last chsp before next petal).

Row 1: Start with a standing tr or ch 3 in the chsp of the first flower, 2 tr in same chsp, ch 1, *3 tr between the flowers, ch 1, 3 tr in ne chsp*, repeat *-* along the whole side,

Ch 3, 3 tr in first chsp in ne side, *ch 1, 3 tr in ne chsp*, repeat *-* along the whole side,

Make the last two sides in the same way

Row 2: Slst until first chsp, {*3 tr in chsp, ch 1* repeat *-* until you reach the ch3sp in the corner, (3 tr, ch 1, 3 tr) in corner chsp}, repeat {-} around. Cut the yarn.

Put your work flat with the wrong side faceing up, fold in the corners as the picture shows.

Attach a stitchmark where the corners meet and a stitchmark in the 15th chsp. Do this on both sides.

Seam or crochet together between the stitchmarks.

Fasten the ends.

Now we should work the egding around the collar and the sleeves.

Make one row with Whirlette and one row with Whirl.

Cut the yarn.
