Sea Flower Motif Instructions:

Make as many as you like!

This motif is crocheted in one round, which can be worked into a magic circle, or by chaining two and working the stitches into the 2nd ch from hook. *Side facing you = RS.

Optional – Work with Beads (all sizes):
If you would like to have 5 (five) beads on the motif, you’ll need to thread the beads onto the yarn first. Then, push one bead up to the last st as you make each sc of the repeat [...] instructions. Make sure you push the bead up to the top or the side facing you, so it is on the RS of the work.

If you would like to have one bead in the center, thread it onto your ending tail and sew it into place on the motif.
