Hawaiian Flower

The Hawaiian Flower

Ch5, join to form a circle.

Round 1: Ch 5, *dc into middle. Ch 2. Repeat *3 times. Sl st into the third of the original ch5.

-If you want your middle to be a different color, now would be the time to tie off and sl st another color in there; however, for the Hawaiian flower, I find it looks better not to switch.-

Round 2: Ch2. 5dc, sc into the same loop, * into next loop, 1sc, 6dc, 1sc. Repeat *4 more times. This should make 6 petals.

Round 3: You will work behind he petals you just made. In the back, between two petals, you will see a "V". Sl st onto that V between two petals. Ch4, *1sc between next two petals, ch3. Repeat * around and join with a sl st into first ch.

5th round: Sl st into the loop to the right. (The loop you just made). Work 1sc, 8dc, 1sc into each chain loop around. Join with a sl st.
