Making the Large Motif

Ch 4 and sl st in the beginning ch to form a ring, *(ch 3 and sl st into ring.)* repeat this 9 more times until you have 10 small petals. Ch 1 and cut yarn leaving a tail to be worked in with a tapestry needle.

Now change to the color you want for your petals and working in the back sts, attach your new color to one of the back sts.

*(Ch 3 and sl st into next back st)* continue that around until you have 10 small white petals. At the end of the row, you want to sl st into the nearest petal to your left, turn your work to face the front and ch3, dc 4 more, then turn your work to the back and sl st into the top of the beginning ch 3 to create the popcorn stitch. Ch 2.

Dc 5 into the next small petal to the left, then turn your work and sl st into the top of the first popcorn. Ch 2.

Repeat making a popcorn and ch 2 until you have 10 popcorn stitches. Sl st into the top hole of the beginning popcorn stitch. Ch 1 and cut yarn, long enough to work in with a tapestry needle.

Attach your green yarn into one of the ch 2 spaces that are in between the popcorn stitches and dc 2, then dc 2 into the loop created at the top of the popcorn stitch when you made it. (top space of the popcorn) continue to dc 2 around for a total of 40 dc’s. Sl st into the top of the beginning dc and ch 1, cut yarn.

Attach the black yarn into any stitch and ch 1, then working to the right sc backward, which is called a crab stitch.

Continue that all the way around and leave yourself a tail to sew your flowers together; cut yarn.

Making the Small Motif

It’s worked like the first two rows of the Large Motif. With your yellow yarn, create the beginning flower again, working the first two rows. (only the second row instead of white, use black.)

Change to black and do ch 3 sl st into the back of the next stitch. Like you did before. Fasten off yarn.

Now to sew the rug together. To make sure the rug stays on the front side, you want to sew using the back stitches.

Sew through back loops only.

Each of the top three rows will be 7 large motifs and 6 small motifs.

On the fourth row, you will also be using 6 small motifs, but only 5 large motifs. On the fifth row, you will be using 4 small motifs and 3 large motifs as shown in the picture at the top of this page.

Finish sewing in all your tails and you're done! Enjoy!
