    • If you prefer, chain 2 initially to substitute for the first dc.

Step 2: Petals

  1. Attach White or Chunky Yarn:
    • Using the chainless method, create chainless treble crochets.
  2. First Petal Cluster:
    • Work 4 trebles into the space between double crochets (not the top of the chains).
    • Slip stitch into the top of the first treble to form a petal, then chain 2.
  3. Repeat Petal Clusters:
    • Continue around, creating a total of 12 petals.
    • Finish by fastening off securely, making sure there are exactly 12 petals.
