Round 2: (ch 3, skip next hdc. sl st into next hdc.) Repeat 4 more times. 5 loops made.
Round 3: working into each loop made by the ch 3: (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) 5 petals made. after completing the last sc, sl st into the back of first petal made where the ch attaches to the original circle made in round 1.
Round 4: Ch 4. sl st to the back between petals 1 & 2. Repeat always connecting to the back behind each petal. 5 new loops made.

You can continue making a third round by making another row of loops (increasing by one more ch) and then another row of petals (increasing by one more dc).
There it is.
