Blumenflor

Size: 81 to 104 cm. Materials: #10 crochet thread and size 2 knitting needles.

First work chart A. Cast on 4 stitches, and knit back and forth. From Row 3 always slip the first stitch of each row purl-wise, and knit the last stitch of each row through the back loop. Purl all return rows. Repeat rows 25 to 28 eighteen more times (until you complete Row 100.) After round 115, leave the 4 remaining stitches on the needle. Pick up 5 stitches along the side, through the slipped stitches, and then *pick up one stitch and make one YO* forty-eight times, and then pick up 5 stitches without the YOs. (4 + 5 + 96 + 5 = 110). Pick up 4 stitches from the cast-on edge and then pick up stitches along the second side the same way you did on the first side. Total: 220 stitches. Purl 3 rounds, moving the end-of-round marker to the center of one end, between the second and third end stitches.

Knit in the round according to Chart B. In rounds 1 to 28, knit the stitches inside the strong lines 5 times on each side, and then knit the remaining stitches which is the corner pattern. Knit the intermediate rounds. From round 29 knit the pattern 12 times per round. After round 73, purl four rounds. Then repeat rounds 1 to 65 again (as rounds 78 to 142), working the stitches inside the strong lines 12 times on each side and the remaining stitches are the corner stitches. After round 142, knit one round and then knit round 144 according to the chart. Bind off with a crochet hook according to round 145, making each decrease with a single crochet. Chain 13 stitches between decreases. Make a second round of loops with one single crochet in each loop of the first round, and chain 15 stitches between the single crochets.
