SPECIAL STITCHES
2-dc-Cluster St: *yo, insert in ring, pull thru, yo and pull thru 2 loops, repeat from * once, yo, and pull thru all loops on hook. 3-dc-Cluster St: Yo, insert in space, pull thru, yo and work off 2 loops, * yo, insert in same space, pull thru, yo and work off 2 loops, repeat from * once, yo and pull thru all loops on hook.

Rnd 1: With white ch 7, join to form a ring, ch 3, dc in ring, ch 3 and work 7 2-dc-cluster sts with ch 3 between each 2-dc-cluster st in ring, ch 3, join in 3rd st of ch.

Rnd 2: Ch 1 and work 4 sc over each loop, join.

Rnd 3: Ch 8, dc in same space, skip 4 sc, *1 dc, ch 5, 1 dc in space over next cluster st of previous row, repeat from * all around, join in 3rd st of ch.

Rnd 4: Ch 1 and * work 6 sc over next loop, sc in center of next 2 dc, repeat from * all around, join.

Rnd 5: Sl st in each of the next 2 sc, ch 18, sc in 2nd st from hook and work 19 sc over balance of ch, 1 sl st in each of the next 2 sc of circle, ** ch 1, turn and working in back loop on st only for entire scroll, 1 sc in each of next 19 sc on scroll, ch 3, 1 sc in 3rd ch from hook, 1 sc in each of the next 5 sc, * ch 1, turn, 1 sc in each of the next 4 sc, ch 3, turn, 1 sc in 3rd ch from hook, 1 sc in each of the next 4 sc, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sc on side of scroll, repeat from * 6 times, 1 sl st in each of the next 5 sc of circle working thru both loops, ch 17, turn, sl st in 3rd picot from bottom of scroll just completed, ch 1, turn and work 20 sc over ch, 1 sl st in each of the next 2 sc of circle working thru both loops, repeat from ** until 7 scrolls have been completed. Work another scroll, joining the 3rd picot from bottom to tip of 1st scroll made and complete scroll, then work 1 sl st in each of the next 3 sc of circle, join, fasten off.

Rnd 6: Attach thread in 2nd free picot of any scroll, sc in same spce, ** ch 6, sc in next free picot, * ch 6, sc in next free picot, repeat from * once, ch 6, skip 1st picot of next scroll, sc in next free picot, repeat from ** 6 times, ending row with* 6 ch, sc in next picot, repeat from * twice, ch 2, trc in 1st sc, this brings thread in position for next rnd.

Rnd 7: Ch 3, sc in same space, * ch 6, 1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc in next loop, repeat from * all around ending row with ch 3, trc in trc.

Rnd 8: Ch 7,sc in next ch 6 loop, repeat from beginning all round ending row with ch 3, trc in trc.

Rnd 9: Same as 7th Rnd.

Rnd 10: Ch 9, sc in next loop, repeat from beginning all around ending row with ch 3, dtrc in trc.

Rnd 11: Ch 3, 2 dc in same space leaving last loop of each dc on hook, yo and pull thru all loops at once, ch 5, 3-dc-cluster st in same space, ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, 2 3dc-cluster sts with ch 5 between in next loop, repeat from * all around ending row with ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, join.

Rnd 12: Sl st into loop between cluster sts, ch 3 (counts as part of first 3-dc-cluster st) and work 4 3-dc-cluster sts with ch 3 between each cluster st in same loop, * ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 3, 4 3-dc-cluster sts with ch 3 between each cluster st in loop between next 2 cluster sts, repeat from * all around ending row with ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 3, join, fasten off.

ROSES Rnd 1: With shaded pinks, ch 5, join to form a ring, ch 6, dc in ring, * ch 3, dc in ring, repeat from * 3 times, ch 3, join in 3rd st of ch.

Rnd 2: Over each loop work 1 sc, 1 hdc, 3 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc.

Rnd 3: * Ch 5, sc in back of work between the sc of next 2 petals, repeat from * all around.

Rnd 4: Over each loop, work 1 sc, 1 hdc, 5 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc.

Rnd 5: * Ch 7, sl st in back of work between next 2 petals, repeat from * all around.

Rnd 6: 1 sc, 1 dc, 7 trc, 1 dc, 1 sc in next loop, 1 sc, 1 dc, 4 trc, in next loop, ch 1, then holding doily wrong side toward you, sl st in ch 7 loop between 2 cluster st groups, ch 1, turn, sl st in top of trc of petal, 3 trc, 1 dc, 1 sc in same loop of rose, 1 sc, 1 dc, 7 trc, 1 dc, 1 sc in each of the next 4 loops of rose, join, fasten off.

LEAF With green, ch 13, 1 sc in 2nd st from hook, 1 sc in each of the next 10 sts of ch, 3 sc in next st of ch, working on other side of ch, work 1 sc in each of the next 8 sts, ch 3, turn, picking up the back loop of st only throughout, 1 sc in each of the next 9 sc, 3 sc in next sc, 1 sc in each of the next 7 sc, * ch 3, turn, 1 sc in each of the next 8 sc, 3 sc in next sc, 1 sc in each of the next 7 sc, repeat from * 4 times, ch 1, turn, sl st in center st of 3rd petal make of previous rose, ch 1, turn, 1 sc in each of the next 8 sc of leaf, 2 sc in next sc, ch 1 and having wrong side of doily toward you, sl st in next ch 7 loop of doily, ch 1, sc in same st of leaf, 1 sc in each of the next 7 sc of leaf, ch 3, turn, sl st in each of the next 3 sc, fasten off. Work 7 more roses and 7 more leaves, alternating roses and leaves, joining 1st petal of rose to last picot of previous leaf and 2nd petal of rose to next ch 7 loop of doily. Join all leaves same as 1st leaf, joining last leaf to 1st petal of 1st rose to correspond.
