Begin with Ch 46

Row 1: dc in 6th st from hook (acts as first v-s0,  *skip 1 st, v-stitch in next st*. Repeat from * to * to end  21 v-stitches.

In the next row you are going to form the petals in the ch 2 spaces of the v-stitches.

Row 2: ch 2 ,turn. In the ch2  of v-st: dc, ch1, (tc, ch1) 3 times, dc, ch2, sl.st. *In the next ch2 space of v-st: sl. st., ch2, dc, ch 1, (tc, ch1) 3 times, dc, ch2, sl.st. Repeat from * to * to  last v-stitch. In last v-st form a small petal: sl.st., ch2, 3 dc, ch2, sl.st.

Fasten off and cut at least a 12” tail. You should have 21 petals.

As shown in this video tutorial: Starting at the last and smallest petal made, roll up your flower keeping everything as even as possible. Make sure the base is fairly flat.

ASSEMBLY:

As shown in the tutorial below, use the remainder of the tail to secure your flower at the base by stitching through the trellis of the headband.
