            Round 4 \u2014 tidy sc round<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Rejoin between petals. Work sc<\/strong> evenly around the petal bases to make the motif round and flat \u2014 aim for ~9\u201312 sc<\/strong> distributed per petal area (adjust \u00b11\u20132).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Join with sl st.

              2. Repeat around to form 8 large arches<\/strong>. (If ch-7 looks too long\/short for your yarn or hook, use ch-6 or ch-8.) Join with sl st.
                Check:<\/strong> 8 evenly spaced arches.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Into each ch-arch work: sl st into arch base \u2192 ch 3 \u2192 dc in top of first tr \u2192 ch 1 \u2192 dc in top of middle tr \u2192 ch 1 \u2192 dc in top of last tr \u2192 ch 3 \u2192 sl st into arch base.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Repeat for all 8 arches and join. (Simpler alternative: 3 dc separated by ch-1 across each arch.)
                  Check:<\/strong> each arch has 3 inner ribs for texture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \n\n\n\n

                  Round 7 \u2014 side loops & corner shaping (optional but recommended)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  (Do this round if you plan to join motifs in a grid for a blouse\/tunic \u2014 it creates side & corner loops so motifs align neatly.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  1. Mark four quarter points (every 2 petals). Rejoin at a quarter marker.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Work along each side between corners using a consistent distribution such as: sc 10, (sc, ch 4, sc) \u00d7 3, sc 10<\/strong> then ch 6<\/strong> at the corner to make a corner loop.\n
                      \n
                    • Important:<\/em> use the same counts on each side so adjacent motifs will match when joining. Adjust the numbers (10 and 3 above) to suit your motif size \u2014 the key is consistency<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Join and fasten off or continue to Round 8.
                      Check:<\/strong> 4 corner ch-6 loops and evenly spaced side loops.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                      \n\n\n\n

                      Round 8 \u2014 scalloped picot edge (finishing & JAYG round)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      1. Rejoin and work an outer scallop: sc 3 across the small outer curve, (pic: ch 3, sl st into the same st), sc 4<\/em> \u2014 adjust counts per small curve so the edge lays flat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      2. Place picots at regular intervals for the dotted\/bobbly look. Join and fasten off. This round is normally used for Join-As-You-Go<\/strong>: when joining to a neighbor, replace the sl st\/picot with sl st into the corresponding stitch or picot of the finished motif<\/strong> to attach.
                        Check:<\/strong> even scallops and picots; motif blocks flat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                        Blocking & finishing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        • Pin motif to blocking board\/towel in the required shape (square if you used Round 7). Pull corner loops outward to form crisp corners and pin picots for sharp points. Mist lightly or steam; allow to dry fully. Blocking is essential<\/strong> \u2014 it opens the lace and makes the joins accurate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                          \n\n\n\n

                          Joining motifs \u2014 two methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                          1) Join-As-You-Go (JAYG) \u2014 recommended for one-piece blouse\/tunic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                            \n
                          • Make the first motif completely. For each new motif work through Round 7 (if used) and begin Round 8. When you reach a stitch that should meet a finished neighboring motif, sl st into the corresponding stitch\/picot of the finished motif<\/strong> instead of making the usual picot or sl st; continue your scallop. Attach at side loops and corner loops. This gives a flat, neat seam and avoids sewing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                            2) Sew-after (block then sew)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
                            • Make and block all motifs. Layout the design and stitch motifs together using a tapestry needle and matching yarn (mattress stitch or whipstitch) through outer sc rounds or side loops. This method allows you to reposition motifs before final join.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                              \n\n\n\n

                              One-piece blouse \/ tunic construction (JAYG, top-down approach)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                              Decide measurements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                                \n
                              1. Block one motif and measure its width M<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              2. Desired chest circumference = C<\/strong>. Half-chest = C \/ 2<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              3. Motifs across (top row) \u2248 round(half-chest \u00f7 M). Rows down = desired torso length \u00f7 M.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                Basic build (top-down)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                                  \n
                                1. Neck row (top row):<\/strong> Make a row of motifs across the front (and continue across the back if making continuous sheet), leaving center joins open for the neckline by skipping joins on centre 1\u20132 motifs if you want a wider neck. For a boat\/round neck center the top row.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                2. Add rows:<\/strong> Add subsequent rows beneath joining with JAYG as you go. Continue until you reach desired torso length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                3. Armholes:<\/strong> When you reach the side, leave unjoined motifs (or stop joining) for the armhole depth \u2014 cap sleeve ~1 motif height, short sleeve ~2 motif heights, longer sleeves more. You can add sleeve strips separately and JAYG them into the armhole.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                4. Finish edges:<\/strong> Pick up stitches around neckline and armholes and work 2 rounds sc; add picot or decorative eyelet round as desired. Hem: 1\u20132 rounds hdc or dc for weight.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                  Example (starter sizing, motif \u2248 11 cm)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                                    \n
                                  • Small (S): top row across \u2248 4 motifs (front half), 3 motif rows down = modest tunic length \u2014 adjust as needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  • For custom fit tell me your finished chest and I’ll compute motif counts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                      \n
                                    • Join motifs in a strip (1 \u00d7 N for narrow scarf or 2 \u00d7 N for wider wrap). For drape use a softer yarn and go up 0.5\u20131 mm on hook.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                      Troubleshooting & tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                                        \n
                                      • Motif cups<\/strong> (edges lift): loosen tension or try one hook size larger for petal\/arch rounds; block more firmly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • Motif ruffles\/waves<\/strong>: shorten arch chains (e.g., ch-6 instead of ch-7) or remove a few sc in Round 4.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • Joins gape<\/strong>: add an extra sl st when joining; ensure motifs are blocked before JAYG.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • Sides mismatch when joining<\/strong>: verify Round 7 side & loop counts are identical on every motif before joining.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • Want more drape<\/strong>: use a softer yarn or increase hook size 0.5\u20131 mm. For crisp lace (runners\/table), use cotton and a slightly smaller hook.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                          \n
                                        • Two-color motif:<\/strong> change color after Round 3 (petals) to emphasize the flower.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        • Bigger motif:<\/strong> increase petal dc (7 \u2192 9) and arch chain (ch-8\/9); adjust Round 7 counts to keep sides proportional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        • Petite motif:<\/strong> fine yarn + smaller hook or reduce petal dcs (7 \u2192 5).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        • Denser look:<\/strong> shorten arch chains and replace dc ribs with hdc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        • Beaded accent:<\/strong> slide small beads onto yarn and work them into arch ribs or into picots for sparkle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
