Flower Tawashi Pattern

Back again with another free pattern. I've started working on gifts and gift sets to sell for the holidays since that time is rapidly approaching. There are a lot of tawashi patterns out there so I decided to try making my own addition. This is the finished product and untested pattern for it. 



     Flower Tawashi   


Hook         H/5mm & N/10mm
Acrylic yarn    Flower color(FC) white, Contrast color 1(CC1) yellow,
        Contrast color 2(CC2) green
Tulle  (do not use tulle with glitter. The glitter will come out and scratch
    whatever you're washing and you'll end up looking like a unicorn
    threw up on you)
Yarn/Tapestry needle
Scissors

Gauge isn't important as long as the top and bottom are the same size. The
tulle center should be slightly smaller to fit inside.
You can make this out of cotton instead of acrylic yarn.

Terms
SC    Single crochet
DC    Double crochet
Sl st    Slip stitch
Ch    Chain

Special Stitch
For the popcorn stitch you work your 4 DC as usual. After you finish the 4th
stitch you turn the work and slip stitch into the top of the 1st stitch. If you haven't
done this stitch before I recommend finding a tutorial on Youtube.

single crochet 15 over chain, slip stitch into next remaining loop. Slip stitch into
next stitch, chain 1 and single crochet each stitch across, slip stitch into next st.
Repeat last row once more then finish off and weave in ends.

Notes:  This is a free pattern and you can make as many of these as you'd like.
Keep them for yourself, give them as gifts, or sell them, as long as you give me
the credit for creating the pattern. Do not copy this pattern and claim it as your
own, either online or printed out, because that's just plain rude.
