Waterlily for Jesus

Photobucket

I took the Flower for Jesus below and embellished it to make a more full looking flower. When I was finished, it reminded me of a Waterlily. Here is the pattern for your personal use, gifts or for charity, not to be copied or sold.

Freely given so that you may freely give.

First make a Flower for Jesus.
Inner petals
Join yarn to the front of a dc st in row one of Flower (pick a loop anywhere in the front middle part of the dc).
1) *Ch 3, sk 2 dc's, sl into the front of the next dc. * Repeat from * around. 6 ch loops.
2) 4 sc's in each ch loop around. Sl to join. Fasten off.

Outer petals
Join yarn to the front loop in top of a dc st in row one of Flower (one that is directly below a ch loop and does not have any sts worked into it, hereafter referred to as a free dc).
1) *Ch 4, sl into fl of next free dc*. Repeat from * around. 8 ch loops
2) 5 sc's in each ch loop around. Sl to join. Fasten off.
