3 sc in last dc of prev row, second corner

We will work the
flower edging in pink or in your preference color.
Note:
Working this last edging row, it is not
possible to always skip 5 sts between flowers. Reaching at the corner, check
and you may skip less than 5 sts
, in the last 2 spaces between flowers, the important thing is to work a flower
exactly in the middle dc of the corner, in all 4 corners of the blanket.

ch4, sc in same st( 3 petal flower worked, ) , ch 4, skip next 5 sts, in 6th

have 4 sc and 3 times of ch4 made all in one st), ch4, skip 5 sts*, rep from *
to * all around the blanket, you should
work a flower in every corner, end by
chaining 4 and join with a sl st in 2nd ch of beg ch5.
Fasten off, weave

Note: In
the blanket I made 4 flowers, one at each corner of the blanket, 10 flowers at
each of the narrow sides, 14 flowers at
each of the long sides.
