Rnd 2 : Ch1, 15sc into ring,  sl st to 1st ch to join.   
Rnd 3 : Ch4,  work (1dc, 1ch) into each of next 14sts.   Sl st to 3rd ch to join.   
Rnd 4 : Sl st to 1st sp, ch3, 1dc into next dc {beginning 2dc-cluster made},  
            *2dc into next sp,  1dc into next dc, 2dc into next sp.   
            Work (2dc-cluster across the next dc & sp).   Ch3,  work (2dc-cluster across  
            the same sp and next dc).  Repeat  from *  3 times more.   2dc into next sp,  
            1dc into next dc, 2dc into next sp, work (2dc-cluster across same sp & 3rd ch of Rnd 2), 
            ch6.  Sl st to 3rd ch to join.  
Rnd 5 : Ch3, 1dc into next dc {beginning 2dc-cluster made}.  **Work 1dc each into next 3 sts,   
            Work 2dc-cluster across the next 2sts, ch4,  sc into 6ch-loop, ch4.    
            Repeat from ** 3 times more.    2dc into next sp, 1dc .  Work 1dc each into next 3 sts,  
            work (2dc-cluster across next 2sts), ch4.   Sl st to 3rd ch to join.   
Rnd 6 : Ch3, work 4dc-cluster across next 4 sts {begining 5dc-cluster made}, ch2,   
            2dc into next 4ch-loop,  ch2,  4dc into next sc, ch2,  2dc into next 4ch-loop, ch2.   
            ***Work (5dc-cluster across next 5st),  ch2,  2dc into next 4ch-loop,  ch2, 4dc into next sc,  
            ch2, 2dc into next 4ch-loop, ch2.   Repeat from ***  around.   Sl st to 3rd ch to join.   
Rnd 7 :  Ch1, ^ sc into top of 5dc-cluster, work (3ch, sc) into each of the next 2ch-sp, ch3, sk 2dc,  
             sc into next st,  work (3ch, sc) into each of the next 2ch-sp.  Repeat from ^ around.  
For back piece : Sl st to 1st sc to join.  Fasten & break off yarn. 
For front piece : Work from Rnd 1 to Rnd 7.  Ch1, hdc to 1st ch to join then continue as follow :  
Rnd 8 : Ch1, sc into same loop, ^^ch1, into next loop,  work (dc, 3ch-picot) 3 times,  
            dc into same loop,  ch1.  Sc into next loop.  Repeat from ^^ around.  Sl st to 1st sc    
            Fasten & break off yarn.   Weave in all loose ends.  

Daffodil   
With light yellow, ch5,  join with sl st to form a ring.  
Rnd 1 : *Ch6, working in 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.  

Note :

*yo, insert hook in next st, yo, draw yarn through st, yo, draw through 2 loops on  hook.
