Directions
Start with A, 5 ch
1. 1 ch, 9 sc in lp; join with sl st to first st.
2. 2 sc on ea sc, join with sl st to first st. =>18 sc
3. 1 ch, (sc on next sc) 3 times,*2 sc on next sc, sc on next sc*; Repeat * to * 7 times, join B with sl st to first st. =>24 sc
4. *sc in back loop of next sc*; Repeat * to * 24 times, join with sl st to first st.
5. *sc on next sc*; Repeat * to * 24 times, join with sl st to first st.
6. *sc in front loop correspondent sc of 4th Rnd, 4 ch, sk 2 sc*; Repeat * to * 8 times, join with sl st to first st.
7. *(sc, 3 dc, ch, 3 dc, sc) in next 4-ch sp*; Repeat * to * 8 times, join with sl st to first st.
8.Join A in first one of a 2 skipped sc grp in Rnd 6, *3 dc in next skipped dc, working behind petals made in prev rnd*; Repeat * to * 16 times, join with sl st to first st. =>48 dc
9. *sc on next dc*; Repeat * to * 48 times, join with sl st to first st.
10.*sc on next sc*; Repeat * to * 48 times, join with sl st to first st.
11 sc on ea sc; every 3 sc, insert hk also in ch of corresp petal in 8th rnd; join with sl st to first st.
12. sc on ea sc, make 6 increments (=work 2 sc in same sc) evenly distributed in the round;join with sl st to first st. =>54 sc
13. sc on ea sc, make 8 increments evenly distributed in the round ( do not make an increment over another increment, otherwise you will have a polygon instead of a circle);join with sl st to first st. =>62 sc
14 sc on ea sc, make 10 increments evenly distributed in the round;join B with sl st to first st. =>72 sc
15. *sc in next sc, 3 ch, sk 2 dc*; Repeat * to * 24 times, join A with sl st to first st.
16. crochet 2 hdc in ea skipped dc of 14th rnd, leaving the 3-ch lps on the front; join with sl st to first st.=>96 dc
17. *sc on next hdc*; Repeat * to * 96 times, join B with sl st to first st
18. *(sc in next sc) 3 times, make a long sc in next sc pointinh hk also in 3-ch sp of 15th rnd*; Repeat * to * 24 times, join A with sl st to first st
19. sc on ea sc, make 6 increments evenly distributed in the round;join with sl st to first st. =>102 sc
20. sc on ea sc, make 6 increments evenly distributed in the round;join C with sl st to first st. =>108 sc
21. *(sc, ch, 2 dc) in next sc, sk 2 sc*; Repeat * to * 36 times, join with sl st to first st. Make 10 ch, turn, 1 ch, sc in ea ch of lp, join in first st with a sl st. Cut thread, weave in ends.
N.B.
- Always substitute (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
- first sc with 1 ch, sc;
- first hdc with 2 ch;
- first dc with 3 ch;
- first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
- When you read „sl st to <location>“, where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course „an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>“.
- Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
