This pattern is the first I've ever attempted to write ... so feel free to tell me of any errors!
Abbreviations
R = ring ds = double stitch p = picot lp = long picot
Cl = close rw = reverse work
Clover 1
1) R1 5ds lp 5ds Cl rw
2) Ch 8ds p 8ds rw
3) R2 5ds join to picot of R1 5ds Cl rw
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until 5 petals have been formed, join the last chain to the top of the first ring, finish.
Clover 2
1) R1 4ds lp 4ds Cl rw
2) Ch 5ds p 5ds rw
3) R2 4ds join to picot of R1 4ds Cl rw
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until 5 petals have been formed, join the last chain to the top of the first ring, finish
Clover 3
R1 (6ds Cl) repeat twice
Step 1
Tie off ends leaving them long and bring through centre to the front. Thread one end onto a needle and take it down through the centre of Clover 3 into the centre of Clover 2 catching a side of the centre as you go. Repeat with Clover 3. Leave end loose.
Step 2
Thread remaining thread with 3 beads then repeat step 1 but on the opposite side to original thread
Tie off the threads but leave long so the can be attached to your project.
