NOTES:
Beginning chain-3 counts as first double crochet.
For petals, two chains and a slip stitch, counts as first double crochet.
Do not join or turn rounds unless otherwise stated. Mark first stitch of each round.
The Right Side should always face up, there is no turning.
Modified Double Crochet (modified dc): begin dc in st indicated, but before you yarn over the second time, insert hook in ch-3 corner to the left on hexagon, yo, and pull through all 3 loops on hook.
Single Crochet Decrease(Sc dec): (Insert hook in stitch indicated, yo, and pull up a loop) 2 times, yo, pull through all 3 loops on hook.
Double Crochet Decrease: (Dc dec): (insert hook in next st, yo, pull through st, yo, pull through 2 loops on hook) 2 times, yo, pull through all 3 loops on hook.
