Work a magic circle

1. Color 1.  Around the circle: Ch2, 1 dc, *ch1, dc 2 together*, repeat from*-* 4 more times, finish with ch1, 1 ss in 1st dc. Cut yarn, weave in ends

2. Color 2. Attach yarn in any ch1-sp, on rnd 1. 
Ch3 = 1 dc, 1 dc around the same ch1-sp as the ch3, *[2 dc, ch1, 2 dc] in next ch1-sp*, repeat from *-* 4 more times, finish with 2 dc around the 1st ch1-sp, 1 sc in 3rd ch.

3. Ch3 = 1 dc, 3 dc around the last sc on rnd 2, [7 dc around next ch-sp]x5, 3 dc around the last sc on rnd 2, finish with a ss in 3rd ch = 6 petals. Cut yarn, weave in ends.

4. Color 3. Attach yarn with a sc in any 4th dc in a petal, on rnd 3. 
Ch3, 1 dc in between the last dc in a ch-sp and the first dc in the next ch-sp on rnd 2, ch3, *1 sc i the 4th dc in next petal, ch3, 1 dc in between the last dc in a ch-sp and the first dc in the next ch-sp on rnd 2, ch3* repeat from *-* 4 more times, finish with 1 ss in 1st sc. Cut yarn, weave in ends.

5. Color 4. Attach yarn in any sc, on rnd 4. 
Ch3 = 1 dc, 3 dc around next ch-sp, 2 dc in next dc, 3 dc around next ch-sp, *1 dc in next sc, 3 dc around next ch-sp, 2 dc in next dc, 3 dc around next ch-sp*, repeat from *-* 4 more times, finish with 1 ss in 3rd ch. Cut yarn, weave in ends. = 54 dc

6. Color 1. Attach yarn in any dc, on rnd 5. 
Ch3 = 1 dc, ch2, skip 1 dc, *1 dc in next dc, ch2, skip 1 dc*, Repeat from *-* around, finish with a ss in 3rd ch. Cut yarn, weave in ends.

7. Color 2. Attach yarn with a sc in any dc, on rnd 6. 
2 sc around next ch-sp, *1 sc in next dc, 2 sc around next ch-sp*, repeat from *-* around, finish with 1 ss in 1st sc. Cut yarn, weave in ends.

8. Colour 4. Attach yarn with a sc in any sc, on rnd 7.
1 sc in each sc around, finish with 1 ss in 1st sc. Cut yarn, weave in ends. = 81 sc

9. Color 3. Attach yarn in any sc on rnd 8.
Ch3 = 1 dc, ch1, skip 2 sc, *[1dc, ch1, 1 dc] in next sc, ch 1, skip 2 sc*, repeat from *-* around, finish with 1 dc in the same sc you attached yarn, ch1, 1 ss in 3rd ch. Cut yarn, weave in ends.

10. Color 1. Attach yarn in any ch1-sp in the middle of the 2 dc in the same sc on rnd 9.
If you crochet your chains tight, like me, you might chain 4 instead of 3, between the clusters
Ch2, dc 2 together around the same ch-sp = 1 cluster, ch3, skip 1 ch1-sp, *dc 3 together around next ch1-sp (= 1 cluster), ch3, skip 1 ch1-sp*, repeat from *-* around, finish with a ss in top of 1st cluster. Cut yarn, weave in ends. = 27 clusters

11. Color 4. Attach yarn in any ch3-sp on rnd 10.
Ch 2 = 1 hdc, 3 hdc around same ch3-sp, skip 1 cluster, *4 hdc around next ch3-sp, skip 1 cluster* repeat from *-* around, finish with 1 ss in 2nd ch. Cut yarn, weave in ends.

12. Color 3. Attach yarn with a sc in any hdc on rnd 11.
Ch2, skip 1 hsc, *1 sc in next hdc, ch2, skip 1 hdc*, repeat from *-* around, finish with 1 ss in 1st sc. Cut yarn, weave in ends.

13. Color 2. Attach yarn in any ch2-sp.
Ch3 = 1 dc, 1 dc around same ch-sp, skip 1 sc, *2 dc around next ch2-sp, skip 1 sc*, repeat from *-* around, finish with 1 ss in 3rd ch. Cut yarn, weave in ends.

14. Color 1. Attach yarn in any dc on rnd 13.
Ch3 = 1 dc, 1 dc in each dc around, finish with 1 ss in 3rd ch.

15. Ch 3 = 1 dc, dc in next dc, dc2tog, *dc in next 2 dc, dc2tog,* repeat from *-* around, finish with 1 ss in 3rd ch.

16. Ch 3 = 1 dc, dc in next 6 dc, dc2tog, *dc in next 7 dc, dc2tog,* repeat from *-* around, finish with 1 ss in 3rd ch.

17. Ch1 = 1 sc, 1 sc in each dc around, finish with 1 ss in 1st ch. Cut yarn and weave in ends.
