Daffodil
With light yellow, ch5,
join with sl st to form a ring.

back ridge of chains, sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1dc each into last 4 chs,
sl st in ring(petal made), Repeat from * 5 times more. Join
with sl st in base of beginning
6ch. Fasten and break off yarn. Join in golden yellow yarn
for the next rnd.
Rnd 2 : With right side
facing, working in front of petals, sk 1sl st, join with sl st in ring
before
next sl st. **Ch 3 (count as 1st dc), (sk next sl st, dc in
ring before next sl st).
Repeat from ** around. Join with sl st to 3rd ch.
Fasten & break off yarn. Weave in loose end.
To make potpourri cover
:
Cut 2 pieces of 'netting'
(or fabric) about the size of sachet to rnd 5.
Using sewing thread of same
colour as fabric and hook #3 (or suitable size for the thread used),
crochet around the edges
of the 2 pieces together with (sc, ch1) around. Stuff with
potpourri and
sew up opening. Fasten
and break off thread. Weave in loose ends.
To make up :
Place the 2 pieces wrong
side together. Align both pieces so that the tip of the 'star' motif
does not align on top of
the bottom piece's tip but is just '1 space' counter -clockwise to the
front tip.
Weave in ribbon in the spaces
in Rnd 6, making sure the ribbon is weaved behind the star tip and
the 4dc-cluster.
If the 2 pieces are aligned properly as above, the ribbon should turn up
to weave
behind the star tips &
4dc-cluster for the back piece too. Make a knot at the ribbon's meeting
point
and also end of ribbon for
hanging. Sew daffodil to middle of front piece.
