3rd Round. Sl st into shell, ch 3, 1 d c, ch 3, 2 d c in same shell, ** ch 3, shell in next shell, * ch 3, shell in next shell, repeat from * twice, ch 5, shell in next shell, ch 5, shell in next shell, * ch 3, shell in next shell, repeat from * 3 times, ch 3, shell in next shell of next leaf, repeat from ** all around ending to correspond, ch 3, join.
4th Round. Sl st into shell, ch 6, sl st in 4th st from hook for picot, d c in same shell, ch 3, sl st in top of d c just made for picot, d c in same shell, ch 3, sl st in top of last d c made for picot, d c in same shell (picot shell), * ch 3, s c in next loop, ch 3, work a picot shell in next shell, repeat from * 9 times, ch 3, s c in next loop, ch 3, d c in first shell of next leaf, picot, d c in same shell, ch 1, join to center picot of last picot shell made, ch 1, slip st in top of last d c made to complete picot, d c in same shell, picot, d c in same shell, repeat from 1st all around ending to correspond and joining center picot of last picot shell to center picot of 1st picot shell, cut thread.
