In Cutting

Ch6, sl st to the first ch to form a ring

Round 1: Ch1 (does not count as a st) 18 dc into the ring. Sl st to the first dc. (18 sts)

Round 2: Ch1, dtr into the next st, (sl st into the next 2 sts, dtr) repeat until 1 st remains, sl st into this st. (18 sts)

Fasten off. Use this tail end to attach to the top of the first st of row 77. You can do this in whatever way you wish, but I did around 5-6 whip stitches in the same spot. The wood anemone flower will sit slightly to the side of the end of the row and this is intentional. 

 

In Crocodillo 

Row 78 (RS): 2dc into the last st of row 77. Dc into each st across until 2 sts before the end of the row. Slst into the point of the next petal after the one you joined to the previous row. I suggest trying to place the sl st through a couple of loops of the petal, to add more stability. Turn. (185 sts - the sl st does not count as a st)

Row 79 (WS): Dc into the last st of the previous row. Dc into each st across until the last st, 2dc in the last st. Turn. (186 sts)

Row 80 (RS): Chainless tr. Tr in the same st. Tr in the next 2 sts. (Skip 1 st, 2tr into the next st) until the last 3 sts. Skip st, Tr into the next st, 2tr into the last st. Sl st into the point of the next petal after the one you joined to the previous row. I suggest trying to place the sl st through a couple of loops of the petal, to add more stability. Ch 3, sl st into the next petal point in the same way as described previously. Turn. (192 sts)

Row 81 (WS): Ch1 (does not count as a st), dc flo into each of the sl st, 3ch and sl st. Dc flo into each st across to the last st, 2dc into the last st. (193 sts)

Fasten off.
