STEP-BY-STEP PATTERN (MATCHES DIAGRAM)

Round 1 — Center Ring

Make a magic ring
Work:
20 dc into the ring
(Join with sl st.)
✔ This creates the full, round center seen in the image.

Round 2 — Base for Petals (Spokes)

Ch 3 (counts as dc)
Work:
1 dc in each stitch around
(20 dc total)
Join with sl st.
✔ This stabilizes the base before creating long petal stitches.

Round 3 — Long Petal Spokes

Ch 4 (counts as tr)
In each stitch: Work 1 tr into the same stitch, ch 1
Repeat around. Join with sl st.
✔ You now have:

- Long vertical stitches (like diagram lines)
- Small chain spaces between them

Round 4 — Petal Formation (Shell Shape)

In each ch-1 space, work:
(2 dc, 2 tr, 2 dc)
Repeat around.
Join with sl st.
✔ This creates:

- Rounded petal bodies
- Slight layering like the real image

Round 5 — Pointed Petal Edges (Important Round)

In each petal:
Work:

- sc in first stitch
- hdc in next
- dc in next
- tr + ch 2 + sl st (picot point) in center
- dc in next
- hdc in next
- sc in last

Repeat for all petals. Join with sl st.

✔ This creates the sharp decorative tips seen in the diagram.
