Special Stitches:
The beginning cluster in Round 5 will consist of 4 chains and two double trebles or you can do a standing double treble instead of the chain 4.
See the picture in round 5. You can also search youtube for video tutorials on clusters.
Pattern:
If you wish to work in a solid colour, then don't fasten off your yarn after each round and keep working in a circle.
Start with chain 4 and sl st in 1st chain, or do a magic ring. There is a great video tutorial of how to do a magic ring again on Moogly which you can find here.
Round 1: Chain 3 or do a standing tr, 11 trs in the ring, sl st in top of the beginning of ch-3 and fasten off. {12 trebles}
Round 2: Attach your new colour between any 2 trs. Chain 3 or do a standing tr, 1 more tr in the same space, ch-1, 2 trs in the same space, * work 2 trs in between the following 2 trs from round 1, ch-1, 2 trs in the same space,* repeat from * to *, sl st in 1st tr. Fasten off. { A group of 11 petals consisting of 2 trs,ch-1, 2 trs}
Round 3: Attach your new colour in any ch-1 space. Ch 3 or do a standing tr, work 4 trs in the same ch-1 space, work 5 trs in each of the following ch-1 spaces, sl st in 1st tr. Fasten off. {11x5 trs}
Round 4: Attach your new colour in any tr from the previous round. Work 1 tr all around, sl st in 1st tr and fasten off. {55 trs}
Round 5: Attach your new colour in any tr, work your 1st cluster of dtrs (check special stitches), ch-4, skip 1 stitch, * work a cluster of 3 dtrs in the following 3 stitches, ch-4, skip 1 stitch, * repeat from * to *, sl st in 1st cluster, Fasten off. { 14 clusters}
After this round your circle will not lay flat as shown here in the picture. Don't worry about it once you work round 6 it will flatten out.
Round 6: Attach your new colour in any ch-4 space, ch-3 or do a standing tr, work 3 trs, ch-2, 4 trs in the same ch-4 space, work 4 trs, ch-2, 4 trs in each of the following ch-4 spaces. Sl st in 1st tr. Fasten off. {14x4 trs, ch-2, 4 trs combination}
Round 7: Attach your new yarn in the 1st tr of any combination from round 6, chian 1, 1 extended dc, 3 extended dcs in the following 3 stitches, 2 htrs in the following ch-2 space, 4 extended dcs in the following 4 trs, * 4 extended dcs in the next 4 trs, 2 htrs in the ch-2 space, 4 extended dcs in the following 4 trs,* repeat from * to *, sl st in 1st extended dc.
Fasten off.
To finish off my potholder, I crocheted a circle of 8 rounds to act as the back of my potholder and crocheted them together using extended dcs. I had to skip a few dcs from round 7 so I can crocheted them together.
Hope you have enjoyed my first photo tutorial :)
