2. Then you should knit 3 air loops (VP) up. The fourth must be knitted as follows: you need to pull the thread through the second loop of the warp 2 times, while hooking the thread with the top loop. It should look like an arch, from which the thread should then be pulled into the third air loop.
3. For the first row, you need to calculate an odd number of double crochets (DC), thus knitting each main loop. At the end of knitting, you need to tighten the thread, forming 2 air loops.
4. To make the next row of petals, you need to increase the number of loops per arch and pull the thread into the base.
5. Next, you should knit 4 loops up, pull the thread through the main loop with a yarn over, thus closing the circle of the petal.
6. Having completed the first row of petals, you need to pull the thread to the wrong side and make the next row. In the lower circle, the yarn overs should be made a little larger in size.
7. After completing the flower weaving, you need to pull the thread out, string a bead on it, return it to the wrong side and secure it with a knot.
