A flower with an interesting edge!

You crochet a circle, then add some 3 ch loops around the outside. After that, two rows of slip stitches worked alternately into the loops and down between the stitches of your first round create a wonderful raised edging.

Add a button or beads to the center if you like :)

Pix show flower worked in dark pink worsted, light pink fingering, and a pastel orange thread.
