Chain 2, then work 3 more double treble crochets together into the same stitch. Chain 2, skip 4 single crochets, crochet 6 single crochets into the next 6 single crochets, chain 2, skip 4 single crochets, then in the next single crochet: crochet 3 times (3 double treble crochets together, chain 2) and 3 more double treble crochets together, chain 2, skip 4 single crochets. At the end of the row, crochet half of a flower motif, just like at the beginning of the row: 3 double treble crochets together, chain 2, 3 double treble crochets together.
