Instructions Rnd 1. Start with yarn C2. Make magic ring, ch2 (counts as 1st dc) and 11 dc in magic ring; NJ in the 1st dc after ch2. (= 12 dc)
Rnd 2. Change to yarn C4. Attach yarn in any dc of rnd 1. Work this rnd in BL! *1 dc inc in each st of rnd 1 (the 1st dc of the rnd will be ch2)* 12 times, NJ in the 1st dc of the rnd after ch2. (= 24 dc) Rnd 3. Change to yarn C1. Attach yarn in 1st dc (BL) of any dc inc of rnd 2. Work this rnd in BL! Note: every dc (FL) of rnd 1 will be occupied by 1 tr. *1 sc (the 1st sc of the rnd will be a ch), 1 tr (FL) in directly underlying st of rnd 1, sk no sts on rnd 2, 1 sc* 12 times, NJ in the 1st tr of the rnd after ch1. (= 36 sts)
Rnd 4. Change to yarn C5. Attach yarn in any tr (BL) of rnd 3. Work this rnd in BL! Note: increases will be made in tr s of rnd 3. *1 dc inc (the 1st dc of the rnd will be ch2), 2 dc * 12 times, NJ in the 1st dc of the rnd after ch2. (= 48 sts)
Rnd 5. Change to yarn C6. Attach yarn in any tr (FL) of rnd 3. Work this rnd in FL on rnd 3! Note: you will get 6 petals on this rnd. *1 sc (the 1st sc of the rnd will be a ch), 1 hdc, (1 dc, 1 tr) in next st, 1 tr in next st, (1 tr, 1 dc) in next st, 1 hdc* 6 times, NJ in the 1st hdc of the rnd after ch1. (= 48 sts) Pull both tails to the wrong side and fasten with a knot.
Rnd 6. Change to yarn C3. Attach yarn in 2nd dc (BL) of any dc inc of rnd 4 behind petal s top. Work this rnd in BL. *4 sc (the 1st sc of the rnd will be a ch), 1 dc (through both lps) in underlying sc of rnd 5, sk no sts on rnd 4, 4 sc, 1 sc (BL) in central tr on the top of next petal of rnd 5, sk no sts on rnd 4* 6 times, NJ in the 1st sc of the rnd after ch1. (= 60 sts)
Rnd 7. Change to yarn C5. Attach yarn in any dc (BL) of rnd 6. Work this rnd in BL. Note: increases are made in dc s and sc s (of rnd 6) on the top of petals. *1 dc inc (the 1st dc of the rnd will be ch2), 4 dc* 12 times, NJ in the 1st dc of the rnd after ch2. (= 72 sts)
Rnd 8. Change to yarn C2. Attach yarn in 3rd dc (BL) after any dc inc of rnd 7. Work this rnd in BL! After this rnd you will get 4 corners. *6 sc (the 1st sc of the rnd will be a ch), 1 hdc, 2 dc, 2 tr, 2 tr in next st, ch2, 2 tr in next st, 2 tr, 2 dc, 1 hdc* 4 times, NJ in the 1st sc of the rnd after ch1. (= 80 sts + 4 ch2-sps) Rnd 9. Change to yarn С1. Attach yarn in the 1st sc (BL) of any group of six of rnd 8. Work this rnd in BL! *12 sc (the 1st sc of the rnd will be a ch), 1 hdc, 2 dc in next ch2-sp, ch2, 2dc in the same ch2-sp, 1 hdc, 6 sc* 4 times, NJ in the 1st sc of the rnd after ch1. (= 96 sts + 4 ch2-sps) Make three decorative rnds with surface sl sts: on rnd 1 (with yarn C3), on rnd 3 just below
the petals (with yarn C2) and on rnd 7 (with yarn C4). Congratulations! Your Block # 6 is finished.
