those spokes that were skipped 3 times with B. Sew centers with B (type
E daisy).
B PETAL BACKGROUND: Make 5. With B and No. G hook, ch 3, join with a
slip st to form a ring. Rnd 1: Ch 3, 15 dc in ring (bring each dc up to
measure 1″). Join with a slip st to top of ch 3. Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in
first space between 2 dc * 6 dc in next space (each dc 1″), sc in next
space between 2 dc; repeat from * around, end 6 dc in last space. Join
with a slip st and fasten off. Sew an E type daisy to center of 3 B
petal backgrounds. Sew a D type daisy to center of 2 B petal
backgrounds.
C SHELL: Make 2. With C, ch 3, join with a slip st to form a ring. Rnd
1: Ch 3, 19 tr c in ring (each tr c to measure 1¼″). Join with a slip st

petal on second daisy) 3 times, ** ch 2, sc in next B petal; repeat from
** around, end ch 2, join with a sl st in first sc. Fasten off. Connect
4 more type D daisies to first 2 daisies in this manner. Join the 7th D
type daisy to the first to form a circle as follows: With C, sc in B
petal, (ch 2, sc in next B petal) 3 times, (ch 2, sl st in ch-2 space of
6th daisy, ch 2, sc in next B petal of 7th daisy) 3 times, (ch 2, sc in
next B petal) 3 times, (ch 2, sl st in ch-2 space of first daisy, ch 2,
sc in next B petal) twice, ch 2, sl st in ch-2 space of first daisy, ch
2, join with a sl st in first sc of 7th daisy. Fasten off. Stretch
outside edge to form a flat circle. Rnd 1: Attach C to back center of
first daisy (go through sewing sts) and work a sc, * ch 6, sc in between
2 daisies in the back of the top st, ch 6, sc in back center of next
daisy; repeat from * around, end ch 6, join with a sl st. Fasten off.
Rnd 2: With C, work a sc, 6 dc (all dc 1″ high) and a sc all in space
under ch-6, * work a sc, 6 dc and a sc all in space under next ch-6;

sc (shell); repeat from * around until there are 11 shells around. Join
with a sl st and fasten off.
STEMS: Stems are worked with C. Chain a little longer than length needed
to allow for drawing in. Row 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook, * dc in next ch;
