- In same hole: 3 dc.
- In next hole: 3 dc.
Repeat for 2 holes (you have 6 dc in row). - Ch 2, turn.
Work 2 dc in each st across (12 dc). - Skip 4 stitches of base circle, join with a sl st (petal anchor).
- Reverse single crochet (crab stitch) across petal top.
Petal Placement:

- For each round of petals, leave more base stitches skipped as number of petals increases (per video, typically 4 or 5).
