* Flower (3 rings)
Using Shuttle 1:
R1: 8 ds b 4ds p 8 ds cls dnrw
R2: 8 ds join to p on R1 4 ds b 4 ds p 8 ds cls dnrw
R3: 8 ds join to p on R2 4 ds b 8 ds cls rw
Note: If you want the flower to lie flat, don't draw the thread between the rings too tightly, leaving a small length of bare thread at the base of the 3 rings. Pulling the rings tightly together will eliminate the exposed thread, but will result in more of a cluster effect.
