FIRST MOTIF ... Starting at center, ch 10. join with sl st to form ring.
1st rnd: Ch 3, 23 dc in ring. join to top of ch-3.
2nd rnd: Ch 1, insert hook in same place as sl st, slip a bead in
place, draw loop through and complete an sc (beaded sc made), (all
beads are worked in on wrong side of work), make a beaded sc in
each dc around. join.
3rd rnd: Ch 1, make a beaded sc in same place as sl st and in next 3
sc, make a plain sc in same place as last sc (1 sc increased), beaded
sc in next 4 sc. Repeat from * around. join.
4th rnd: Ch 1, beaded sc in same place as sl st and in next 4 sc, *
inc 1 sc, beaded sc in next 5 sc. Repeat from * around. Join.
5th rnd: Now working without beads, sc in same place as sl st and in
next 2 sc, * ch 5, sc in next 3 sc. Repeat from * around. join.
6th rnd: Sl st to center of first loop, in same loop make sc, ch 20 and
sc; * ch 5, in next loop make sc, ch 20 and sc, Repeat from * around.
Join.
7th rnd: * In next ch-20 loop make sc, half dc, 29 dc, half dc and sc
(petal made); sc in next sp. Repeat from * around. join.
8th rnd: Ch 1, * make a beaded sc in each st around petal, sl st in
next sc. Repeat from * around. join and break off. Thread 1/4 vial of
green beads on a second ball of thread.
9th rnd: With wrong side of work facing, attach this thread to 9th sc
on ant petal, sc in same place and in next 16 sc, * skip first 8 sc on
next petal, sc in next 17 sc. Repeat from * around. Join and turn.
10th rnd: Sl st in first 3 sc of next petal, ch 9, * (skip next sc, sc in
next sc, ch 5) 5 times; holding back on hook the last loop of each tr,
skip next sc, make a tr in next sc and in 3rd sc on next petal, thread
over and draw through all loops on hook (joint-tr made), ch 5. Repeat
from * around, ending with tr in last petal. join to 4th ch of ch-9.
11th rnd: Beaded sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, skip next sp, (sc
in next loop, ch 5) 4 times; beaded sc in next joint-tr. Repeat from *
around. join.
12th rnd: Beaded sc in same place as sl st and in next loop, * (ch, 5
sc in next loop) 3 times; ch 5, beaded sc in next loop, in next sc and
in next loop. Repeat from * around, ending with beaded sc in last
loop. join. 13th rnd: Beaded sc in same place as sl st and in next sc, *
3 beaded sc in next loop, (ch 5, sc in next loop) twice; ch 5, 3 beaded
sc in next loop, beaded sc in next 3 sc. Repeat from * around, ending
with 3 beaded sc in last loop, sc in last sc. Join and break off.
SECOND MOTIF . . . Thread 78 yellow beads on same thread as
pink beads and work as for First Motif until 12 rnds have been
completed.
13th rnd: Beaded sc in same place as sl st and in next sc, 3 beaded
sc in next loop, ch 2, sl st in corresponding loop on First Motif, (ch 2,
sc in next loop on Second Motif, ch 2, sl st in next loop on First Motif)
twice; ch 2, 3 beaded sc in next loop on Second Motif. Complete rnd
as before, joining next 3 loops to corresponding loops on First Motif.
Make 5 more motifs, joining 2 sets of loops to corresponding loops on
preceding motif and 2 sets to First Motif. join last motif to First Motif.
EDGING . . . 1st rnd: Attach thread to first free loop on any motif, ch
11, * (sc in next loop, ch 7) 16 times; make a joint-tr over next 2
loops, ch 7. Repeat from * around. Join last tr to 4th ch of ch-11.
2nd rnd: Sc in first loop, * (ch 8, sc in next loop) 16 times; sc in next
loop. Repeat from * around. join.
3rd rnd: Sc in first loop, * (ch 9, sc in next loop) 15 times; sc in next
loop. Repeat from * around, join. Continue to work as for last rnd,

Good morning all -
I like to have the charts as well, partly because I am just now learning to use them.
Older patterns as so much fun, because I sometimes have to really think and/or modify to make something work.
Perhaps someone who knows how to use charts could make this pattern and create a chart for it? That would be cool.
Happy crocheting!

I'm just curious as to the approximate count or the weight, in grams, of beads needed for this project - if you know. I'd love to try it but don't want to run out of beads in the middle of a motif. Thanks.
I like graphic style instructions, not wording, not everyone knows how to follow worded instructions.
there is no picture to help
directions are easy to follow
