Pattern:

New* ch2 (or 3) and 9 dc in 2nd/3rd from the hook. With a long tail.

Then ch14 and begin as normal, slsting into the base.

Ch3, 4 hdc (5 sts), hdcinc 5x (10sts), then:

Start with a Ch 14

  1. HDC in the 2nd ch from the hook, DC, TC, DC * 4, HDC * 4, SC, turn
  2. SC, HDC * 4, DC * 7, ch2 turn
  3. DC * 7, HDC * 4, SC, turn
  4. SC, HDC * 4, DC * 6, DC Inc in the last, ch2 turn
  5. DC * 8, HDC * 4, SC
  6. SC, HDC * 4, DC * 6, DC Inc, ch2 turn (note we’re stopping early to enforce the “Heart shape” of the petal”
  7. DC * 8, HDC *4, sc, turn
  8. SC, HDC * 4, DC * 6, DC2TOG (dc dec), CH 2 turn
  9. DC * 7, HDC * 4, SC, turn
  10. SC, HDC * 4, DC * 4, TC, DC, HDC, ch1 slst at the base of row 9 start to complete the petal, fasten off

Repeat above 3 times to get 4 flower petals.

Yellow part:

In a Magic Ring: 5sc (5st)

5 inc (10st)

Invert the direction so the tail is “inside” the thingy

3-4 rounds of 10 hdc, slst at the end (10)

Dec around until a butt

End is the bottom of the yellow

Shorter yellow better, whatever I prototyped is too tall

brown part is a ch2 + 15 dc into 2nd (16st)

Then ch6+slst3rd+ch3 slst base, slst next, repeat 16x

Yellow feeds into brown, reds layer and attach, needle yellow and brown through the middle of red.
