With a double strand of yarn and your tapestry needle draw through only the center sc of each motif. Pull tightly, make knot, cut yarn and tuck in ends between motifs.
As you begin drawing the yarn through the center sc of each motif you will notice the petals forming.
You may crochet these in pastel, variegated or solid shades of yarn. There is never a bad combination when working this pattern.
