Instructions
Gauge: Not critical for this project, but aim for tight, consistent stitches.
Main Motif (Worked as one piece):
Foundation Chain: Ch 50. This chain will form the main stem and the ring band.
First Branch (Curly Vine): Work back along the foundation chain.
Row 1: Sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 2 ch, *ch 5, sl st into next ch, sc in next ch*; repeat from * 3 times, ending with sl st into next ch. This creates a series of small loops forming the curl.
Row 2 (creating the spiral effect): Ch 3, turn. Working into the chain loops from Row 1, (sl st, ch 2, sl st) into each ch-5 loop. Fasten off this branch, leaving a short tail to secure later.
Central Stem & Second Branch (Leafy Vine): Rejoin thread to the foundation chain at the point where the First Branch ended.
Ch 1, sc in next 5 ch of the foundation chain (this forms the central stem).
Next, create the leafy side: *Ch 4, sl st into 2nd ch from hook (first picot leaf point), sl st into next 2 ch, sl st into the same ch on the central stem as the previous sl st*; repeat from * 4-5 times along the next 10-15 ch of the foundation chain, skipping 1-2 ch between leaf sections to spread them out. Finish with sc in remaining ch of foundation chain until you have approximately 15 ch remaining.
Small Flower: (Make 1)
Create a magic ring.
Ch 2 (counts as first half of a dc), (dc, ch 2, sl st) into the ring (first petal).
(Ch 2, dc, ch 2, sl st) into the ring (second petal).
Repeat (Ch 2, dc, ch 2, sl st) two more times for a total of 4 petals.
Pull magic ring tight. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
Finishing and Assembly:
Weave in all initial yarn ends on the main motif, except for the long remaining foundation chain ends.
Using the fine sewing needle and matching thread, attach the small flower to the top of the main motif, near where the two branches meet. Securely sew 2-3 tiny white seed beads into the center of the flower.
Bring the two remaining ends of the foundation chain together to form a ring that fits comfortably on your finger. Join them with a sl st or sc, working through both strands to secure. You can reinforce the ring band by working a row of sc around it for added durability and neatness.
Weave in all remaining ends securely. Your delicate botanical ring is complete!
