OK Now, I will describe exact stitches and repeat counts<\/strong> clearly.

    Start<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Make a magic ring<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), then work 15 dc<\/strong> into the ring (you will have 16 dc total<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Pull ring tight and join with sl st<\/strong> to top of ch 3.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Round 1 \u2013 Forming Petal Loops<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Ch 4 (counts as dc + ch 1<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. dc in next stitch, ch 1.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Repeat around until every stitch has dc + ch 1<\/strong> above it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. You will have 16 dc separated by ch-1 spaces<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Join with sl st into 3rd chain of starting ch 4.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Round 2 \u2013 Petal Base<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        We will create groups of 3 double crochet<\/strong> in each chain space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Sl st into next ch-1 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Ch 3 (counts as dc), then work 2 dc<\/strong> in the same space \u2192 (3 dc group)<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. In next ch-1 space work (3 dc).<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Repeat this in each space around \u2192 16 groups of 3 dc<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Join with sl st to top of ch 3.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          Round 3 \u2013 Leaf Clusters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          This creates the willow leaf \/ droplet<\/strong> shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Sl st into space between the groups (the gap between shell clusters).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Ch 5 (this replaces one leaf cluster).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. In next space work: (tr, ch 2, tr, ch 2, tr) \u2192 leaf cluster<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Ch 3.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. In the next space work another leaf cluster: (tr, ch 2, tr, ch 2, tr)<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          6. Alternate: leaf cluster \u2192 ch 3 \u2192 leaf cluster \u2192 ch 3<\/code> around entire round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          7. Join with sl st to the 3rd chain of the starting ch 5.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n

            Round 4 \u2013 Starting to Form the Square<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Now we shape the motif so it becomes square<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Corners are created by placing bigger chain spaces<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Sl st into first ch-2 space of the leaf cluster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc<\/strong> in same space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. In the next ch-2 space of the same cluster, work: (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc) \u2192 This forms CORNER #1<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. In the next leaf cluster (move to next cluster), work: 2 dc in first ch-2 space, 2 dc in next ch-2 space.<\/code> (These are side stitches<\/strong>, NOT corner.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            5. Repeat sequence:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              CORNER cluster:\n(2 dc in first space, 2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc in second space)\n\nSIDE cluster:\n(2 dc in first space, 2 dc in second space)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
              You will create 4 corners<\/strong> and 4 side sections<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Join with sl st.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n
                \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                Round 5 \u2013 Strengthening the Square<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Ch 3 (counts as dc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Dc in each stitch along the side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. In each corner ch-3 space work: (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc) \u2192 corner<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Continue all around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                5. Join with sl st.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
