This lovely water lily is worked in the round from the centre out. The stamen and petals are worked into the front loops of the round before the next increase of the base circle is worked into the unworked back loops.

Example measures 7cm (base) or 14cm (petal tip to petal tip when flat).

Full instructions with photos are provided!

The pattern can be extended to make squares for cushions or blankets.

Pattern is written in standard US notation; UK and US notation pdfs are also downloadable from my site.
