Flowers from the Annual

If you attended  the OHCG Annual this year in Cobourg, you probably noticed  the lovely flower pins many of the volunteers were wearing.

These came  to us courtesy of Dora Burnie (that's her, featured in the post below this one!)  She made a LOT of them and donated them to our cause.  They were a big hit, and we had  many requests for the pattern.

The instructions below are suitable for someone with some experience crocheting.

(A transcript of Dora's notes can be found below the photo.)


FLOWER

Chain 6 - join (ring)
1 round:  chain 3, 3 dc in ring; turn, chain 3, dc in ea of next 4 dc petal rnds
Turn, chain 3, * working behind the petal, 4 dc in ring
Turn, chain 3, 1 dc in ea of next 4 dc
Turn, chain 3, rep from * 6 times more

- put crochet yellow centre - glue it (Dora says she made the equivalent  of a popcorn bobble for the centre and glued it in place)
- adjust petal to look nice - may want to turn opposite way


Here's another photo without the centre which shows the rows a little better.
