Part A
1 - CSS Pumpkin (me)
2 - RHS Avocado (X)
3 - CSS Royal Blue (N)
4 - CSS Neon Pink (T)
5 - CSS Lemonade (me)
6 - CSS Blackberry (X)
7 - CSS Harvest Red (N)
8 - CSS Iris (T)
9 - CSS Cobalt Blue (me)

10 - CSS Cobalt Blue (me)
11 - CSS Neon Orange (X)
12 - CSS Cobalt Blue
13 - CSS Neon Orange
14 - CSS Cobalt Blue
15 - CSS Neon Orange
16 - CSS Cobalt Blue
17 - CSS Neon Yellow (N)
18 - CSS Fuchsia (T)

19 - CSS Soft Blue (me)
20 - CSS White (X) - This row really confused me. So I did a popcorn stitch in every V, except the bottom of the triangle. (13 popcorns) Here’s hoping it doesn’t bite me in the butt!
21 - CSS Neon Coral (N) - did the tr decreases around the popcorns. Worked well, and I think my numbers are still right
22 - CSS Neon Green (T)
23 - CSS Country Blue (me)
24 - CSS Red (X)
25 - CSS Soft Blue (N) - I’m not sure how this is supposed to work into the previous round having only 16 stitches, but I basically skipped the skip stitches (except 3) > See 27
26 - CSS Watermelon (T) - I put the (2dc-V’s) in each of the v’s the previous round, with a dc at each end of the half circle. I’m not sure I did the round previous well, but I think it looks neat, so it’s staying!
27 - CSS Iris (me) - I definitely think I did 25 wrong. I think that maybe there were supposed to be the dc’s on the end, and just V’s in the middle (which would let you skip st’s maybe?). I ended up just mushing the stitches in where I could fit them. It looks okay, but I don’t think I did it quite right.

28 - CSS Pumpkin (X)
29 - CSS Dark Sage (N)
30 - CSS Neon Green (T)
31 - CSS Lemonade (me)
32 - CSS White (X) - I couldn’t figure out how to make all the stitches fit, so I put a dc in the center dc of the previous row (4 x dc in ch sp, dc in dc, 4 x dc in ch sp)
33 - CSS Blue Mint (N)
34 - CSS Plum Wine (T) 1sc in each st in 33, except middle that one gets 2 (I had 24 stitches make it equal 25 …and apparently I didn’t count because the next hump has 23 d’oh)

35 - CSS Robin Egg (me) So. Yes, I did 25 wrong. So I needed to reduce my stiches, so one per petal I did a 2sctog. And I could not figure out AT ALL where the 8 stitches on the big loops were supposed to go. But the backloop sc after 7 chs is supposed to be a bpsc around both bases of big loopy so it gets pulled in.
36 - CSS Neon Coral (X)
37 - CSS Black (N) - 31 sc
38 - CSS Fuchsia (T)
39 - CSS Grey Heather (me) dc in the sc from 37 behind the bunny ears.
40 - CSS Soft Pink (X)

41 - CSS Royal Blue (N)
42 - CSS Pagoda (T) backwards looks like backpost in the pics.
43 - CSS Dark Sage (me)
44 - CSS Neon Orange (X)
45 - CSS Neon Pink (N) not sure what they mean by 13th sc… that’s the middle and clearly not right. I used the 5th sc (and 5 up on the other side). From the previous joining stitch.
46 - CSS Iris (T)
47 - CSS Ocean (me)
Prep Row (confused me, but I think it works) Pic later because I have no words
48 - CSS Robins Egg (X)

49 - CSS Neon Green (N)
50 - CSS Red (T) The previous row has a total of “24” stitches. I think I’ll start and end the X’s on the chains at the ends.
51 - CSS Orchid (me)
52 - CSS Lemonade (X) Work in row 34. Spacing over the middle should be 9 stitches (sc skip 7 sc)
53 - CSS Lemonade (X)

54 - CSS Dark Country Blue (N)
55 - CSS Dark Country Blue (N) (chain 5 from row 52)
56 - CSS Neon Pink (T)
57 - CSS Country Blue (me)
58 - CSS Light Country Blue (X)
59 - CSS Black (N)
__ I’m Back!__
60 - CSS Neon Orange (T) - made everything back post. Not sure if that’s what’s supposed to happen, but hey!
61 - CSS Neon Coral (me) hdc,4dc,hdc in second ch2 space. Join the next bar and the first bpdc with a sc. 13 bpdc, should include one of the bpdc that caught the way previous row. Then join the BOTTOM of the center dc in row (52&) 53 arc (I folded it over to be able to get to that stitch) and between the 2 bpdc’s that caught the way previous row. 13bpdc. Join the next bar in the last bpdc (yes, a little backwards) with a sc…. rest is good, I think. Ooof. My row 52/53 is a mess :( I’ll have to fiddle with most of them somewhat fierce:(

72 - CSS Kelly Green (T) I did 20, like the row previous says.
73 - CSS Iris (me)
74 - CSS Watermelon & Neon Pink (X)
75 - CSS Blue Cobalt (N) I am using the 10th bpdc of the second half of the triangle in row 69 (between the stitches of 70) with the 1st sc from row 74.
76 - CSS Green (T) I did the fptc over the popcorns.
