Notes

Another fabulous design by Ms Aleksandra.
Using up my RIck Rack yarn in the best ways with her patterns.

I’m a big fan of this designer.
On Etsy:
https://www.etsy.com/shop/alemaka?ref=shop-header-name&am...
Her prices there are similar to ravelry, but she has discounts on Etsy.

Teensy Errata:
pattern states:
5.-12. 1sc in all 52st 40
correction:
5.-12. 1sc in all 40st 40

Modification:
Worked r 4 of each semicircle piece with sc blo.
Worked r 5 of center piece in sc blo.
This made the bottom of each semicircle flatter.

Modification:
First semicircle:
Elected to facilitate the curve after r 20 by working:
(one row 5 sc, 14 hdc, 5 hdc, then 3 rows sc) 2x.
(5 sc, 14 hdc, 5 sc) 2x.
(3 rows sc then, one row 5 sc, 15 hdc, 5 sc) 2x. Remaining rows (20) as written.

Second semicircle:
Worked hdc rows in similarly.
Beg circle and inc rows, 20 r even, (1 row hdc, 5 r even) 6x, 15 rows even, dec rows.

Third semicircle:
As above, working () 9x.

Yarn quantity estimates:
bulky yarn, single str, ~ 430 y total.
center base: 65 y
first semicircle: 85 y
second semicircle: 130 y
third semicircle: 150 y

Held rickrack yarn double stranded thru out.
Added squiggly streamers at the bottom of one semicircle for decoration and to use up the yarn.
