Marking:

Row 2:
- Chain three (counts as a double crochet) and make another double crochet in the first space.
- Work double crochets in each stitch until the first marker.
- In the marked stitch, double crochet, chain two, skip two spaces, and double crochet in the next marked stitch.
- Continue with double crochets to the end, placing two double crochets in the last space.
For Row 3:
- Chain three, double crochet in the same space.
- Double crochet in each stitch until two stitches before the middle space.

Creating the Back Panel:

- Do not cut the yarn after finishing the second panel.
Joining the Panels:
Row 11:

- Chain one, then connect to the first panel by making a double crochet in the first space.
- Continue the row pattern to the end, adding the increase.
- Chain one and slip stitch to the last stitch of the other side to close.
Working in the Round:
- Chain three, double crochet in each stitch around, maintaining the flower pattern in the middle.
