Petal Row (Row 2)
- Chain five to start the row.
- Into the space between petals, work a treble crochet.
- Chain four and slip stitch into the same space.
- Chain four again, and make a treble crochet into the space where you previously made the slip stitch.
- Continue by working treble crochet into the next space between petals.
Repeat the petal structure across the row.
Repeat & Customize
