Now we start the first blossom stitch. This stitch is worked around the ch-1-sp that you have just created and you will rotate your work as you crochet this stitch.
Crochet [dc, ch2, tr, ch2, dc, ch2, tr, ch2, dc] into the stitch on round 17 that you just skipped (so that you are working backwards). This creates the two lower petals.
Now rotate your work, so that you are crocheting into the ch-1-sp above the petals you just crocheted. [dc, ch2, tr, ch2, dc, ch2, tr, ch2, dc, ch2, tr, ch2, dc]. This forms the upper three petals and you can see the blossom taking shape.
You finish off the blossom, by skipping the dc that you crocheted just before you started crocheting the petals and crocheting into the next available stitch on round 17. Dc, *ch 1, skip 1, dc. From *4 times.
