Finished size: 7.5” (approx. 9cm) in diameter

Supplies:

• Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton! Solids (100g, 165m/180yds)
• US size F hook (3.75mm)
• Yarn needle
• Plastic or bone ring (optional)

Note: Gauge is not essential; it’s more important to have a tight fabric than to get the exact dimensions. If using thinner yarn, repeat row 6 once more and adjust joining instructions accordingly.

Front and Back (Make 2):

Start with a magic loop, chain 3, and double crochet (dc) 15 in the loop. Join with a slip stitch (sl st). (15 sts)

Chain 3, work 2 dc in each dc around. Join with sl st. (30 sts)

Chain 3, *dc in the next dc, 2 dc in the next dc. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st. (45 sts)

Chain 3, dc in the same st, ch 1, 2 dc in the same st, *skip 2 sts, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in the next st. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st. Then sl st 2 more sts to end the round in a ch 1 space. (15 shells)

Chain 3, dc in the same st, ch 1, 2 dc in the same st, *(2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in the next ch 1 space. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st. Sl st 2 more to end the round in ch 1 space.

Chain 3, 2 dc in the same st, ch 1, 3 dc in the same st, *(3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in the next ch 1 space. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st. Sl st 3 more to end the round in ch 1 space.

Chain 3, 6 dc in the same st, * 7 dc in the next ch 1 space. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st. Fasten off. Weave ends in.

Joining Front & Back:

(The petals are made while joining, outlining the edges, then going towards the middle through front and back.)

Make sure the right side is facing out on the front and back. Line up the edges.

Pull up a loop in between two of any of the shells.

Chain 1, *single crochet (sc) in the next 7 sts (making sure to go through both layers). Sc in between the 2 shells.

Ch 1, sc around the row below (in between the same 2 shells you just did, only on row 6).

Ch 1, sc around row 5.

Ch 1, sc around row 4 (there are 2 skipped sts available, sc into the closest one, ch 1, then sc into the other).

Ch 1, sc around row 5.

Ch 1, sc around row 6.

Ch 1, sc around row 7.

Repeat from * around until you arrive where you started. Sc around a plastic or bone ring, then fasten off. Alternatively, you could chain your own hook or leave it off entirely. Weave in ends!
