Flower Pattern

I just sat down and worked up this pattern. I in no way intend to infringe on any copyright. If you have this pattern copyright, please let me know and I will remove this post. Your pattern must be word for word like mine and date posted must be clear.

You will first need to make a magic ring. I think this is the nest way to start a circle and you can find it here: Magic Ring

I used an H hook and kitchen cotton. You can used any size yarn and hook to make any size you like. Gauge is not important.

OPEN FLOWER

Rnd 1: ch 3 (counts as 1st dc and throughout pattern) dc 23 into center of ring. Draw up snug but not over tight as you can adjust to your desire. sl st into 3rd ch of beg ch 3.

Rnd 2: sl st between the ch 3 from rnd 1 and the first dc. ch 5, dc in space between dc and ch 3 from rnd 1. ch 1 *skip 3 dc and dc in space between thrd skipped dc and next dc, ch 2 and dc in same space, ch 1*, repeat* to * 6 more times for a total of 8 V's . sl st in the 3rd chain of beg ch 5.

Rnd 3: sl st into space of 1st V of rnd 2. ch 3, dc in same space, ch 2, 2 dc in same space. ch 1 *2 dc in next V space, ch 2, 2 dc in same sp, ch 1*, repeat * to * 6 more times. sl st into 3rd ch of beg ch 3.

Rnd 4: sl st into next dc, sl st into ch 2 sp from rnd 3. ch 3, 6 dc in same sp, sc in ch 1 sp of rnd 3, * 7 dc in next ch 2 sp, sc in ch 1 sp of rnd 3*, repeat * to * 6 more times, sl st into 3 ch of beg ch 3. Fasten off and weave in ends.

MORE CLOSED UP FLOWER: differences only from Open flower:

Rnd 3: between each set of *2dc ch 2 2 dc* sc in ch 1 sp of rnd 2

Rnd 4: sc between 7 dc is into sc of rnd 3


Note: Differences are intended to be subtle, but are evident. *wink* Picture 1 is open and picture 2 is closed.

Wine, Women & Wool Thursday

I finally went back and took the picture again!!! 14.01 a gallon for gas??? really???actually the sign is slid too far to the left but at first glance, it looked as if the price of gas had skyrocketed out of belief!!! Who sets the price per barrel anyway? Where is this person and how do we organize an old fashioned Texas lynching??? Seems everyday it is rising and no one is doing anything to stop whomever sets the price. Someone send me a link to how the price per barrel is affixed and let me see what we can do....I know some good old boys!!!
My BF's Mother has been here all week. We have had a good time plus she drives a sporty little Sky from Saturn. It is red hot and a convertible. I have the sun burn marks to prove it!
Craft news: I frogged an entire sock I made. Yep didn't like the way it looked so frogged it all. I am either nuts or just crazy. I sent out my exchange squares for my Barefoot crochet group this week. I forgot pictures so nothing to show for my hard work. *doh* I finished side front #2 on my halter top and will be buying lining and more yarn at the Hobby Lobby near me to finish it up. I may not look fabuloso in my halter but I bey it will be cool and comfy!!! I am also working on a small purse from nylon again. It is multi-colored and I hope will be done soon as I am tired of looking at it...same goes for my beaded nylon bag. Tedious work for sure! I am sure I will enjoy it when done though.
OK off to clean up the kitchen *YUCK* but it has to be done!
Peace to you all & be well!!!
