In this DROPS video we show how to crochet a large flower, which is used in the «Flower in the Sky» top in DROPS 78-19.

Work like this:
Work 6 chain stitch and form them in a ring with 1 slip stich.
1st round: Work 12 double crochet around the ring, finish with 1 slip stich in the first double crochet.
2nd round: Work * 5 chain stitch, skip 1 double crochet, 1 double crochet in the next stitch *, repeat from *-* in total 5 times, 5 chain stitch, skip 1 double crochet, 1 slip stitch in the first double crochet at beg of round = 6 chain stitch-loops.
3rd round: * 2 double crochet, 3 treble crochet, 2 double crochet round the next chain stitch-space *, repeat from *-* in total 6 times and finish with 1 slip stitch in the first double crochet at beg of round.
4th round: * 5 chain stitch, 1 double crochet in the second treble crochet (= middle of the arch), 5 chain stitch, skip 1 treble crochet and 1 double crochet, 1 double crochet between the next 2 double crochet * repeat from *-* in total 6 times.
5th round: * 5 double crochet round the chain-space, 1 picot (= 3 chain stitch, 1 double crochet in the 3rd chain stitch from hook), 5 double crochet round the next chain-space *, repeat from *-* in total 6 times and finish with 1 slip stitch in the first double crochet at beg of round. Cut the yarn and pull through the loop. The yarn will later be used to sew the flowers tog.

Thank you for the instructional videos. I have, in the past, had great difficulty understanding pattern instructions -- with many; "what do they want me to do here" moments. I read the instructions, watched the videos while reviewing the instructions -- and now everything seems crystal clear, in particular I now understand and can use the patterns and prefer these to written instructions. Twenty minutes or so working with your videos went a VERY long way with me. Super pleased.
