Motif 1 is made by 2 parts, first we make the base motif, then we crochet flower on the base motif.
Please change colors according to the following color chart.

R11: 1ch ( this count as 1st sc) (Note: When we do invisible joint at the end of the round, we usually do 1 ch as 1st sc, then the invisible joint chan will cover on this st.)

Slip 2 sts to the 1-ch space, ch2 ( counts as 1st hdc), put a marker on the 2nd chain st. 1hdc in the same space, (1ch, 2hdc in the next space) 3times, *#(1ch, 1hdc, 1dc) in next space, (1ch, 2dc) in next space, 1ch, 2sc on the 2-ch space of round13 of the 1st leaf, skip one space, (1ch, 2tr) in next space, (1ch, 2tr) in next space, 1ch, then we start the corner, (1tr, crochet the 2-ch leaf tip of 2nd leaf together with the 3-ch space make another tr, 3ch, crochet the 2-ch leaf tip together with the 3-ch space make a tr, 1tr) in the 3-ch corner space, (1ch, 2tr) in next space, (1ch, 2tr) in next space, 1ch, 2sc in the 2-ch space of round 13 of the 3rd leaf, skip one space, (1ch, 2dc) in next space, (1ch, 1dc, 1hdc) in next space##, (1ch, 2hdc in next space ) 4times**, repeat from * to ** 2 more times, then repeat from # to ##, ch1, slip to the marker st to join.
R17: Slip 2 sts to the 1-ch space, ch3 ( this counts as 1dc), 1dc in the same space, (1ch, 2dc) in all 1-ch space, (2dc, 3ch, 2dc) in all 3-ch corner space, at last , 1ch, cut the yarn and do invisible joint.
R18: Start from any 1-ch space, ch3 ( this counts as 1dc), 1dc in the same space, (1ch, 2dc) in all 1-ch space, (2dc, 3ch, 2dc) in all 3-ch corner space, at last , 1ch, cut the yarn and do invisible joint.
R19: Start from any 1-ch space, ch3 ( this counts as 1dc), 1dc in the same space, (1ch, 2dc) in all 1-ch space, (2dc, 3ch, 2dc) in all 3-ch corner space, at last , 1ch, cut the yarn and do invisible joint.
R20: Start from any 1-ch space, ch3 ( this counts as 1dc), 1dc in the same space, (1ch, 2dc) in all 1-ch space, (2dc, 2ch, 2dc) in all 3-ch corner space, at last , 1ch, cut the yarn and do invisible joint. Please be noted, it’s 2ch for the corner in this round, not 3ch as previous rounds.
Hi there! I’m having so much fun with this kit! I have a question for Round 17…..
Before the 2dc, 3ch, 2dc of each corner, should there be a ch1?
After the corner begins the ch12dc repeat, so wouldn’t it would make sense to have a ch1 before the corner as well?
1. Yes, before the corner st, there is a ch st.
2. Yes, always has a ch between 2dcs
ok, thank you!
