Eight stitches
Eight stitches single crochet
Eight stitches of soft loops
Double crochet four chains
Loops on loops full and soft
Eight double crochet
Four chains and four spaces
In the chain spaces
The open gaps waiting for finger wiggles
Ten half double crochet
Instructions chain like crochet stitches
Nine front post half double crochet
Around the double crochet
Continue around like this
Eight half double stitches times ten
Eight front post half double times nine
First half double pulled tight
Hiding an invisible join
Eight stitches of soft loops
Eight stitches single crochet
Eight stitches
Bloom
