Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Make 3 Flowers and Join Them

Flower Center (Candy Lilac):

1. Make a slip knot and chain 8. Join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet). Work 23 double crochets (dc) into the ring (24 dc total). Join with a slip stitch in the 3rd chain. Fasten off.

Petals (Baby Pink):
3. Join pink yarn at any stitch. Chain 2.

4. [Petal Base]: Single crochet in the next 2 stitches. Chain 12 (petal base). Single crochet in next stitch. Repeat process of 2 single crochets and a chain-12 until you have 6 petal bases.
5. Slip stitch into the 2nd starting chain to join round.
6. Petals: In each chain-12 petal base, work 18 double crochets. After each petal, slip stitch to the base between petals.
7. For the first flower, make six full petals and fasten off.

Joining Flowers:

• On the second and third flowers, after you’ve made 9 dc of the petal, join it to the adjacent flower’s corresponding petal (wrong sides together) with a single crochet. Then complete the remaining 9 dc of the petal. Repeat for adjacent petals as needed to join the flowers in a row of three.

2. Rug Outline with Chains (Aqua Green)

1. Attach green yarn at the top center of the first flower.
2. Chain 25, then single crochet at the top center of next flower. Repeat for next flower.
3. On the short ends (rounded corners), chain 15 between each petal and join.
4. Continue working around, alternating 25 and 15 chains as spacing dictates, until you complete the round; slip stitch to join.

3. Oval Foundation (in Aqua Green)

1. Round 2: Chain 3 (counts as dc). Work 1 dc in each chain from the chain outline round; work into the chains, not the spaces. Join with slip stitch.
2. Stretch or adjust flower petals outward so the rug lays flat.

4. Textured 3D Stitch Section

1. First 3D Row:
   • Chain 3. Skip 2 stitches; in next stitch work three double crochets (dc) together (a cluster).
   • Chain 3, skip 2, dc3tog in next. Repeat to the end of round. Slip stitch to join.
2. Second 3D Row:
   • Chain 3. Into same space, work 3 dc from behind the first stitch of each 3dc cluster from the previous row (back post).
   • Chain 3, work 3 dc behind first dc of next cluster. Repeat to end.
3. Repeat 3D Rows: Continue the pattern of cluster group + chain for several rounds (up to 5 rows in sample, but increase for desired rug size).

5. V-Stitch & Decorative Border

1. Switch to Baby Pink:
   • In each chain-3 space: work (dc, chain 2, dc)—this is a simple V-stitch.
   • Join and continue with double V-stitch in the next round: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each V-stitch space.
   • Add 1-2 more rounds of double V-stitch as desired.
2. Switch to Candy Lilac for final round:
   • (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each V-stitch. In the next round, after V-stitch, work a picot (e.g., 3 chains, sl st into first chain), for a frilled edge.
   • Continue around, join with slip stitch, fasten off.

6. Add Decorative Leaves

1. With green yarn, make 4 leaves:
   • Chain 11.
   • In 2nd chain from hook: sl st, sc in next, hdc in next, dc in next, 3 tr in next, 2 dc in next, 1 tr, hdc, sc, sl st. Turn and work these stitches down the other side.
   • Leave beginning and ending tails for sewing.
2. Use tapestry needle to sew leaves between flower motifs: two at the top, two at the bottom in rug’s open spaces.

7. Finishing

• Weave in all loose ends with tapestry needle, matching colors to the correct section.
• For best results, block the rug: Place a damp cloth over, and gently steam with an iron to flatten stitches. Do not place iron directly on yarn!

---

Tutor’s Suggestions

• Adjust the number of 3D rows to customize the size.
• Always stretch petals outwards after joining flowers to ensure a smooth base.
• Block your finished rug for extra flatness and definition.
• Join motifs with right sides facing for seamless joins.

Tip

For a sturdy, professional finish, weave in each color tail right after completing a section, not just at the very end. This makes final assembly much easier!
