        Instructions: The Celestial Petal Appliqu\u00e9<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        This pattern is worked in the round, starting with a foundation chain to create the center ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Part 1: The Center and Foundation (Color B)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Foundation Ring:<\/strong> With Color B<\/strong>, ch 7<\/code>. Join with a sl st<\/code> to the first ch to form a ring. (If preferred, you may start with a Magic Ring).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. R1 (Center Base):<\/strong> Ch 1<\/code> (does not count as st). Work 12 sc<\/code> into the center ring. Join with a sl st<\/code> to the first sc<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Fasten Off Color B.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Part 2: The Inner Petals (Color A)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          Switch to Color A<\/strong> and attach it to any single crochet stitch from R1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. R2 (Petal Arches):<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Ch 4<\/code>. Sl st<\/code> into the same st where you joined the yarn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Sl st<\/code> into the next st.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Repeat the sequence [Ch 4, sl st into the same st, sl st into the next st]<\/code> around the entire ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • You should have a total of 6 small ch-4 loops<\/strong> forming the arches for the inner petals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • R3 (Petal Definition):<\/strong> This round works into the arches created in R2.\n
                \n
              • Sl st<\/code> into the center of the first ch-4 loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • In the loop, work: [sc 1, ch 1, sc 1, ch 1, sc 1]<\/code>. This forms the first defined petal.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Sl st<\/code> into the sl st<\/code> between the arches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Repeat the sequence [Sl st into the next loop, work (sc 1, ch 1, sc 1, ch 1, sc 1) into the loop, sl st into the next sl st]<\/code> for the remaining 5 arches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                Part 3: The Outer Petals (Color A)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                The outer petals are created by working behind the inner petals, into the stitches of R1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Re-attach Color A:<\/strong> Join Color A<\/strong> with a sl st<\/code> into any skipped single crochet<\/strong> stitch from R1 (the stitches the inner petals didn’t<\/em> attach to in R2).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. R4 (Outer Petal Arches):<\/strong>\n
                    \n
                  • Ch 5<\/code>. Sl st<\/code> into the next available sc st from R1 (you will be skipping one st from R1 between each anchor point).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Repeat the sequence [Ch 5, sk 1 st, sl st into the next st]<\/code> around the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • You should have a total of 6 large ch-5 loops<\/strong> positioned behind the inner petals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • R5 (Outer Petal Definition):<\/strong> This round works into the ch-5 arches created in R4.\n
                      \n
                    • Sl st<\/code> into the center of the first ch-5 loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • In the loop, work: [sc 1, ch 1, sc 1, ch 1, sc 1, ch 1, sc 1]<\/code>. This forms the larger, defined petal.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Sl st<\/code> into the sl st<\/code> between the arches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Repeat the sequence [Sl st into the next loop, work (sc 1, ch 1, sc 1, ch 1, sc 1, ch 1, sc 1) into the loop, sl st into the next sl st]<\/code> for the remaining 5 arches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Final Fasten Off:<\/strong> Cut yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing the appliqu\u00e9 onto your chosen item.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      2. Steam Block (Optional):<\/strong> Gently steam or mist the flower to help the petals lie flat and open up the definition of the two layers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      3. Attach:<\/strong> Use the long tail from the final round and a tapestry needle to sew your beautiful Celestial Petal Appliqu\u00e9<\/strong> onto a hat, bag, or anything that needs a touch of handmade charm!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
