    Sweet! I also can see this as a variation of a tulip. Thanks for this pattern design!

    Wow, I can not make heads or tails of this pattern. I asked my crochet group and we all were incredibly confused, too. Round 4 ends up having 3 times the stitches than you have in the piece, I am not sure how anyone was successful with this. Sorry, I just don’t get it.

      Hi Sara,

      Exactly which part are you getting stuck on? Is it the chains that are used to adjust to the height of the stitches that is confusing you?
