PATTERN NOTES
Chain-1 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch.
Chain-2 at the beginning of a round counts as a stitch.
Always repeat the color sequence once it’s established unless otherwise noted or if using scrap yarns.
Each flower is worked over 3 rows with each petal a double crochet cluster. Bottom and top petals each have 1 cluster; the middle petals have 2 clusters separated by a single crochet of the main color.
Carry color not in use loosely across the wrong side of work.
Join yarn with a slip stitch unless otherwise stated.
Where only 1 number appears, it applies to all sizes.
