Slip stitch into the first chain, to make a ring.
Chain 3 (this will form the first dc).
Make a dc into the ring. Chain one.
Make 2 dc into the ring. You should now have 4 dc’s separated by a chain stitch.
Repeat, until you have six x (2dc, ch,2dc) sets.
Slip stitch into the third chain of your initial 3chain, made at the beginning of the round.
Cut yarn, join a new color.
Insert hook into the space just to the right of the 3ch leg from the previous round. Yarn around hook, pull yarn through, ch3.
1dc into the same space.
Ch1 and the make 2dc into the same space again.
Repeat the previous steps into the next chain space from the previous round.
Continue with these repeats until you have six sets of 2dc,ch1,2dc.
Join to the third chain stitch with a slip stitch, to close the round.
Insert your hook into the space created by the chain stitch between the 2dc’s.
Chain 3. This again is taking the place of the first dc, and you count it as 1 dc stitch.
Make 6 further dc into the same space. There should be 7 dc’s.
Repeat the same into each space
End by with slip stitch.
Cut yarn, and join new.
Insert hook into the first chain stitch space, yarn around hook, pull yarn through. Yarn around hook again, pull through the stitch on the hook.
You have made the first sc into the first chain loop.
Repeat 6 times more (sc into every successive chain loop, until there are 7 sc in total).
You will now do a dc , into the 3rd round space as seen in the pic.This will make a very long dc stitch, but will help to shape the flower petal.
Continue to work you way around the hexagon…7sc, dc, 7sc, dc etc, until you get back to the beginning…as always, join the round by slip stitch into the first sc.
Cut yarn and join a new color.
Chain 3.
Dc into the next loop of the sc you made in the previous round. Repeat until you have 4dc made.
You will now have reached the middle of the top of the flower petal. Ch1, then make another dc into the same space as the previous dc. It is this chain that helps to form the hexagon shape.
Work your way around the hexagon, working in the above pattern.
Join the last dc to the 3rd chain of the beginning leg, as in the previous rounds.
