This round is the first row of the Raised Rose affect.
If you wish to do in multi colors then you must
change to the other color now:
.....A..With the next color first loop
.....B..Draw that loop through existing loop on hook. (keep loops tight and
drop first color thread/yarn. DO NOT CUT!!
1.* SC (single crochet) in CH 5 loop with multi color thread/yarn.
2. HDC (half double crochet)
3. 5 DC (double crochet)
4. HDC
5.**SC
6. Repeat around making 8 petals.
7. SL ST in beginning SC. (FIRST PETAL ROW MADE)
ROUND FIVE:
With beginning thread you used to make the
first 3 rounds YO (yarn over) and draw through colored loop. If keeping to one color then just continue with:
1.* CH 6
2.** Working behind first round of petals post and holding first petal forward; SC in post:
3. Repeat from * - ** around
4. SL ST in first SC.
ROUND SIX
5. Pick up multi colored yarn and draw through loop on hook.
6. Drop first color yarn/thread.
7.* With multi color; SC in next CH 6 loop.
8. HDC
9. 6 DC
10 HDC
11**SC
12. Repeat from * - ** around.
13. SL ST in beginning SC. (Second row of Petals made.)
Now you have a choice if working on multi
colored project. The last row of Petals
can be made with multi colored yarn/thread
or with the solid color. My preference is
to use the solid color at this point. You
will have time to play with it until the
next issue to see what effect you like best.
ROUND SEVEN:
1.* CH 7
2.** SC around post of previous petal row.
3. Repeat from * - ** around
4. SL ST to beginning SC.
If you choose to use the solid color at
this point then cut the multi color
yarn/thread about 2 inches from the project
(DO NOT KNOT)..just take the multi
yarn/thread and hold agains the CH 7 loop
and proceed making the next petal row
including the cut as part of the loop. If
you choose to use the multi color
thread/yarn in this last row of petals,
then drop the solid color and make the
petals the multi color thread/yarn as the
above transition.
ROUND EIGHT:
1.* SC in first CH 7 loop
2. HDC
3. 9 DC
4. HDC
5.** SC
6. Repeat from * - ** around
7. SL ST in beginning SC.
