Note: Because I didn't liked the flat look of the flower center, I made an extra center and stitch it on the top of the initial center.

My own pattern for the flower center:

Rnd.1: magic ring, ch1, make 6 sc in the ring, join with sl st in the beginning ch.

Rnd.2: ch1, make 2 sc in each sc around, sl st in the beginning ch (12 sc total)

Rnd 3: ch1, make 1 sc in each sc around, sl st in the beginning ch. Fasten off.

Why "Hybrid"? Because I made some modifications to the original pattern "Irish Rose" by Lesley Stanfield.

I followed the original pattern until round 6.

At round 7 I made this way: ch1, turning the flower with the back side facing you, make 1sc around the stem of next sc of round 6, 5ch, (1sc around stem of next sc of round 6, 5ch)x7 times, sl st in the first sc.

Round 8 was made the same way as in the original pattern.

I made an extra round for the edging, Round 9, using sc crab stitch around each petal.

I hope you enjoy making them as much I did!
