2nd Rnd: Ch 1 and work 4 sc over each loop, join.

3rd Rnd: Ch 8, dc in same space, skip 4 sc, * 1 dc, ch 5, 1 dc in space over next cluster st of previous row, repeat from * all around, join in 3rd st of ch.

4th Rnd: Ch 1 and * work 6 sc over next loop, sc in center of next 2 dc, repeat from * all around, join.

5th Rnd: Sl st in each of the next 2 sc, ch 18, sc in 2nd st from hook and work 19 sc over balance of ch, 1 sl st in each of the next 2 sc of circle, ** ch 1, turn and working in back loop of st only for entire scroll, 1 sc in each of the next 19 sc on scroll, ch 3, turn, 1 sc in 3rd ch from hook, 1 sc in each of the next 5 sc, * ch 1, turn, 1 sc in each of the next 4 sc, ch 3, turn, 1 sc in 3rd ch from hook, 1 sc in each of the next 4 sc, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sc on side of scroll, repeat from * 6 times, 1 sl st in each of the next 5 sc of circle working through both loops, ch 17, turn, sl st in 3rd picot from bottom of scroll just completed, ch 1, turn and work 20 sc over ch, 1 sl st in each of the next 2 sc of circle working through both loops, repeat from ** until 7 scrolls have been completed.

11th Rnd: Ch 3, 2 dc in same space leaving last loop of each dc on hook, thread over and pull through all loops at one time, ch 5, cluster st in same space (cluster st: thread over needle, insert in space, pull through, thread over and work off 2 loops, * thread over needle, insert in same space, pull through, thread over and work off 2 loops, repeat from * once, thread over and pull through all loops at one time), * ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, 2 cluster sts with ch 5 between in next loop, repeat from * all around ending row with ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, join.

12th Rnd: Sl st into loop between cluster sts, ch 3 (counts as part of 1st cluster st) and work 4 cluster sts with ch 3 between each cluster st in same loop, * ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 3, 4 cluster sts with ch 3 between each cluster st in loop between next 2 cluster sts, repeat from * all around ending row with ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 3, join, break thread.

ROSES: With Shaded Pinks, ch 5, join to form a ring, ch 6, dc in ring, * ch 3, dc in ring, repeat from * 3 times, ch 3, join in 3rd st of ch.
