I was playing around with flower designs to add to a purse I'm finishing (will share pics of the purse soon!). This one ended up looking pretty cool, so I thought I'd share it. It's a nice full flower (24 petals!!) that's not too bulky. It's so easy that I'm sure someone else has come up with this before, but I'm calling mine a Moxiemum nonetheless :) Chart and text pattern in US terms below!
MOXIEMUM PATTERN:
CENTER in Color A (Yellow)
Magic circle, chain 2 (counts at dc), 11dc, slip stitch into top of 1st dc. (12 st) Fasten off and cinch circle closed. Weave in ends.
BACK LOOPS in Color B (Dark Pink)
Attach yarn at back loop of any dc. *Ch 4, tc in back loop of same stitch, ch 4; slip stitch in back loop of next stitch. Continue from * around. Last slip stitch should be at start. Fasten off and weave in ends.
FRONT LOOPS in Color C (Light Pink)
Attach yarn at front loop of any dc. *Ch 3, cc in front loop of same stitch, ch 3; slip stitch in front loop of next stitch. Continue from * around. Last slip stitch should be at start. Fasten off and weave in ends.
When finished, if the flower petals want to go sideways, pull every other petal of the front layer to the front, and every other petal of the back layer to the back, so the petals overlap slightly.
