2nd row: Skip first dc, dc in next 3 dc, ch 1, 4 dc in last dc of next pc st, drop loop from hook, insert hook from back to front in first dc of 4-dc group and draw dropped loop through (reversed pc st over pc st made); ch 1, dc in next 2 dc, holding back on hook the last loop of each dc, dc in next dc and in top of next ch-3, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (joint dc made). Ch 3, turn.
3rd row: Skip tip of joint dc, dc in next 2 dc, ch 1, pc st over next pc st, ch 1, dc in next dc, joint dc over next 2 dc. Ch 3, turn.
4th row: Skip first joint dc, dc in next dc, ch 1, reverse pc st over next pc st, ch 1, joint dc over next 2 dc. Ch 3, turn.
5th row: Joint dc over next pc st and next dc. Working across left side of point, sl st closely along the end sts and turning chains of the last 4 rows, ending with a sl st in the last dc on the first row of point, ch 2, dc in first dc of next petal. Next 3 Points: Repeat First Point. Fifth Point: Work as for First Point until the 4th row has been completed, omitting turning chain on 4th row. Ch 4, turn.
5th row: 4-tr pc st over next pc st, tr in tip of next joint dc and complete as for First Point.
Next 17 Points: Repeat Fifth Point once; then First Point 3 times; Fifth Point twice; First Point 4 times; Fifth Point twice; First Point 3 times and Fifth Point twice, ending last point with ch 2. Join to top of ch-3 at beg of first row on First Point. Break off and fasten.
Attach Cream to tip of last point made and continue to work in rnds.
21st rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place, * working along left edge of same point, ch 5, sc in the end st at beg of 4th row, ch 5, dc in next ch-2 sp between points, ch 5, working along right edge of next point, sc in the end st at end of 4th row, ch 5, in tip of point make sc, ch 7 and sc. Repeat from * around, ending with sc in same place as first sc was made, ch 3, tr in first sc to form last loop.
22nd rnd: Ch 1, sc in loop, * ch 9, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr, skip next loop, tr in each of next 2 loops, thread over and draw through all loops on hook, ch 9, skip next loop, sc in next ch-7 loop. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-9 to first sc.
23rd rnd: Ch 1, sc in joining, * ch 17, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 14, dc in first sc to form last loop.
24th rnd: Ch 1, sc in loop, ch 5, * sc in next sc, ch 5, in next loop make (sc, ch 5) 6 times. Repeat from * around, ending with sc in next sc, ch 5, in first loop used make (sc, ch 5) 4 times and sc; ch 2, dc in first sc.
25th rnd: Ch 1, sc in loop, * ch 3, sc in each of next 2 loops, ch 3, sc in next loop, (ch 5, sc in next loop) 4 times. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in first sc.
26th rnd: Ch 1, sc in loop, * ch 4, sc in each of next 2 loops, ch 4, sc in next loop, (ch 5, sc in next loop) 3 times. Repeat from * around, ending as on 25th rnd.
27th rnd: Ch 1, sc in loop, * ch 13, skip next 2 loops, sc in next loop, (ch 5, sc in next loop) twice. Repeat from * around, ending as before. Join.
