Was a bit bored while waiting for them to come out of the oven and so I made these. They remind me of daffodils although they are not quite daffodils!
Have not even worked in the ends yet - just had to type up the pattern first while it was still fresh in my mind:
With Colour A - 6ch, ss to join
Row 1: Into the ring, 2ch 2dc cluster, 3ch; *3dc cluster, 3ch* crochet *to* 5x (6 clusters), ss to close, break off yarn
Note: a 3dc cluster is formed as follows - yarn over hook, work the first part of the stitch leaving 2 loops on your hook, repeat this twice more (four loops on hook) Yarn over hook and draw through the loops on the hook to form your cluster
Row 2: Join Colour B in any 3ch sp; 2ch, 2dc, 1tr, 1 picot, 1tr, 2dc, 2ch, ss into same space; *ss into next 3ch sp, 2ch, 2dc, 1tr, 1 picot, 1tr, 2dc, 2ch, ss into same space* *to* x5, ss into same sp as first petal to close. Break off yarn
Pattern is written in US terms
I used Elle Pullskein DK and a 4.00mm hook
Made a few more in a thinner yarn and added a bit of detail to the petals. I think these are much nicer!
