I'm having a very hard time following this pattern. I'm on row 7 and it doesn't seem to be creating petals. Does it take a few more rows to see to his?
ReplyDeleteonce you start on the bpdc it will start coming together. so once you finish with round 7 and 8 you should start to see the petals starting to decrease.
DeleteHow do you crochet a fpdc & dc in same place?
ReplyDeleteand then a dc & fpdc also in the same spot?
ReplyDeleteFor a fpdc and a dc in the same st, you will work around the post, then you will make a regular dc in the dc that you just made a fpdc in, and for the dc then fpdc you will make a regular dc, then you will work around the dc at you just put the regular dc in.
DeleteIf you message me on facebook or email me I can send you a picture of what the stitches look like.
