- Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton! Solids (100g, 165m/180yds)
- US size F hook (3.75mm)

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!
