Chain 4 (counts as first treble crochet + chain 1), slip stitch into the ring to form the center.Work 12 double crochets into the ring (count the first treble chain 4 as dc), pull tight to close ring.Slip stitch to join, joining in the third chain of chain 4.
- Round 2:
Chain 3 (counts as first dc), work 2 double crochets into the same space.
Chain 1, then work 3 double crochets in next stitch.
Repeat the 3 dc clusters separated by chain 1 until 12 total clusters (petals) form, slip stitch to close. - Round 3 (Treble crochet round):
Chain 4 (counts as first tr), then 1 tr in same space.
Chain 1, 3 trebles in next cluster space.
Repeat for all 12 clusters, placing corners by working 2 clusters with a chain 3 in one space for corners.
Slip stitch to join. - Round 4 (Clusters of 3 double crochets):
Chain 1, work 3 double crochets cluster in next space, chain 1.
