            \n
          1. With Color A (center color)<\/strong>, make a magic ring<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Ch 2 (does not<\/strong> count as a stitch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Work 12 dc<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Tighten the ring and join with a sl st<\/strong> to the first dc. (12 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83d\udd04 Alternative:<\/strong> If you prefer not to use a magic ring, ch 4 and sl st to form a ring. Work 12 dc inside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Switch to Color B (petal color)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Join yarn in any dc from Round 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Ch 2, work the following in the same st: 1 dc, 1 tr, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st in next st.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Repeat from * to * around for a total of 6 petals<\/strong>. (You\u2019ll be working into every other stitch.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. Sl st to the base of the first petal to finish the round.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udca1 Tip:<\/strong> Petals can be larger by using tr or by increasing the number of stitches per petal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Switch to Color C (contrast or border)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              This round is worked behind<\/strong> the first petals, anchored in Round 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Insert hook behind a petal<\/strong>, into the unused dc<\/strong> from Round 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Ch 1, sc, ch 2, sc in the same stitch<\/em>, skip next dc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Repeat around, anchoring in each unworked dc from Round 1.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                This creates small arches<\/strong> or loops between the main petals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
