Flora Top by Javiera Ortiz

Craft: Crochet

This pattern is available on Ravelry(goes to new website)(opens in a new tab).

First you will make all the flower centers, then you will add the petals, joining the flowers as you go, to construct the front and back of the garment. Work all the centers in C1, then take turns with C2-C8 in desired order as you add the petals.

A chart and video links are included with the written instructions. The videos are in Spanish but visually clear and easy to follow. The instructions guide you to create and join flowers in horizontal rows, starting from the bottom and working upward. Use the petal numbers in the chart to join the flowers. Alternatively, you can follow the video’s technique and use the schematic for your size to decide which petals to join or leave open, in any order you prefer.

As you work, make sure the RS is always facing as you join the flowers.
