Section 1

This sets up the short-rows. There will be 18 sts between markers on the right while still 16 on the left (RS) after first row
German short-rows are really easy and neat - I might be using this as my preferred short-row technique in other projects also!

Section 2 and 3

These two sections complete the short-rows.

Depending on the number of flowers planted section 2 is partially repeated. The number of in-row-repeats increase the second time around indicated in brackets in pattern.
I have 9 flowers so I worked Section 3B

Section 4

Section 4 can be knitted either from the chart or written instructions. Already used to the written instuctions I continued with those, but I really find the chart helpful as a visual aid. Section 4 is repeated until the desired number of leaves are completed ending in either row 4 - the first half of the final left side leaf or row 14 - the first half of the final right side leaf.
At the start of every repeat of section 4 the markers are shifted 10 stitches to the right. The marker is always on the outside of the stem/leaf motif on the right, so when you reach the leaf tip the marker is moved back to the stem. After the final leaf the marker moves to the flower in section 5.

I ended at row 14 with the start of my 7th leaf

Section 5

This completes the final leave and adds the base of the flower. 5A finishes a left side leaf and 5 B, which I am doing, finishes a right side leaf

Section 6

Finishing the flower. I did the M5 in k, but from test thread discussion p would be fine also (occurs on p row). There isn’t really much difference in what it looks like either way.

Section 7

The border, knit in the round. Cast off with doubled yarn - in mohair this made quite a thick cast off.

I used 44g of mohair lace for 9 flowers and 7 leaves in middle. That cast off took quite a bit of yarn and time.
