Using the colour for the petals, make a slip knot on your hook and slip stitch to any of the stitches in round 1.
Round 2. Petal *3 chs, sl st to 2nd ch from hook, slip stitch to the bottom of that same stitch*, that’s the first petal done. Slip st to the next stitch and repeat the pattern from * to * to create another petal. Repeat this 11 more times so you have 12 petals in total (1 in each stitch of round 1).
