I used a 4mm hook,  and Stylecraft special dk. I've shown the colours I used in each round but pick whichever colours you are drawn to

Start with a magic ring 

Round 1 - (lavender)

(2tr, 1ch) x 5

Ss to join in top of first ch3 

Round 2 - change colour (fiesta)

The first one ch3 1tr, 1ch, 2tr

Round 3 - same colour (although chart shows purple to make it clearer)

Slip stitch into the next chain space from previous row. 

In chain space from previous row:

Round 4 - change colour sage

Ss to join and the dc in top of each tr of previous row (i.e. 7 dcs) 

In middle of each petal stitch one long dc which goes down through row 2 of first fiesta pink row 

Make sure you stitch in your last long dc before you tie off
