Materials:
2 Balls African Expressions Harmony 50g in colour 2057
some leftover African Expressions Harmony in colour 2109 for flower
4.5mm Crochet hook

Tension gauge:
16htr = 10cm using 4.5mm crochet hook

Stitches used:
1. CG or cluster group (V-Popcorn st)

Worked in foundation row over 2sts.
Practice a bit if you are not experienced.
(Yarn around hook, insert into st as usual,
pull yarn through, repeat this 5 times.
Pull the last loop through all the loops on
the hook and anchor the 10 loops with
a chain st)
make one chain. Rep * - * in
the second stitch. You now have 2 puffed
stitches. The next rnd is worked in the
same way with one ch between the two
“puffs” but they are worked in the one
chsp of the prev row thus forming a V.

2. RTR (Raised Treble):
A raised st is made by inserting the hook
behind and around the st in the prev row
instead of through the top 2 loops. This
forms a raised st. This st is worked as a rtr
throughout the pattern.

Crown is worked in rnds, join with a sl st (slip stitch).
