Materials

• Yarn/wool: I have used Catania yarn from Schachenmayr in green (0212), yellow (0208) and orange (0192) color.
• Crochet hook: 3.0 mm
• Tapestry needle
• Filling
• Scissors

Abbreviations

• St(s)   –    stitch(es)
• Ch      –     chain
• Sc       –     single crochet
• Inc     –     increase (2 sc in next st)
• Dec    –     decrease (2 sc worked off together)
• (nr)    –     indicates the total number of stitches in the current row/round
• ()*      –     repeat the instruction before the star all around
• FO     –     fasten off

Important Notes

• All rounds are worked in a continuous spiral (except the petals). Do not join or turn, unless instructed otherwise
• You may find it useful to use a stitchmarker for counting your rounds
• Using invisible decrease instead of decrease makes the final result nicer

Size of finished figure

Using the given yarn and hook size the flower will be approximately 13 cm high.
