2nd Round: Sl st into loop, * ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 7, trc in center st over the joining of flowers, ch 7, trc in same space, ch 7, skip 1 loop, sc in next loop, repeat from * all around joining the last ch 7 in sl st.
3rd Round: Sl st to center of loop, * ch 4, 2 dc in 4th st from hook keeping last loop of each dc on hook, thread over and pull through all loops at one time ( single rice st), ch 4, 2 dc in 4th st from hook keeping last loop of each dc on hook, thread over and pull through all loops at one time (a double rice st), sc in next loop, repeat from * all around.
4th Round: Sl st to center of next double rice st, * work a double rice st, sc in center of next double rice st, repeat from * all around.
5th Round: Sl st to center of next double rice st, *ch 7, sl st in 4th st from hook for picot, ch 7, sl st in 4th st from hook for picot, ch 3 (double picot loop) , sc in center of next double rice st, repeat from * all around.
6th Round: Sl st between picots of next loop, * work a double picot loop, sc between picots of next loop, repeat from * all around.
7th Round: Sl st between picots of next loop, * work 6 single rice sts, dc between the 3rd and 4th rice sts, work a single rice st, trc between the 2nd and 3rd rice sts made, work a single rice st, cluster st between the 1st and 2nd rice sts, (cluster st: 3 trc in same space keeping last loop of each trc on hook, thread over and pull through all loops at one time), work a single rice st, sc between picots of next loop, repeat from * all around, cut white.
8th Round: Attach Red between 4th and 5th rice sts of any scallop, * ch 9, sc between next 2 rice sts, ch 7, sc in the dc between next 2 rice sts, ch 7, sc in the trc between next 2 rice sts, ch 3, thread over hook, insert in the cluster st between next 2 rice sts, pull through and work off 2 loops, thread over hook, skip last rice st of same scallop, insert in the cluster st between 1st and 2nd rice sts of next scallop, pull through and work off 2 loops, thread over and pull through all loops at one time, ch 3, working up next scallop, sc in the trc between next 2 rice sts, ch 7, sc in the dc between next 2 rice sts, ch 7, sc between next 2 rice sts, repeat from * all around, join.
Next Round: Sl st into center of loop, * ch 7, sc in same loop, ch 7, sc in next loop, ch 3, thread over hook, insert in next loop, pull through and work of 2 loops, thread over hook, insert in next ch 7 loop on side of next scallop, pull through and work off 2 loops, thread over and pull through all loops at one time, ch, 3, sc in next loop, ch 7, sc in next loop, repeat from * all around, join, cut Red.
