Good to know - First dc on each round = ch 3. - Each round ends with a sl st in first stitch or top of dc tog, if nothing else is noted. - Repeat instructions between *-* until end of round, if nothing else is noted. - Corner on the pentagons round 6 and round 7: (ch 2 + 2 dc tog + ch 2 + 3 dc tog) around ch, (will be written as corner in the pattern). - Corner on diamond: (4 tr + ch 6 + 4 tr) around ch, (will be written as corner in the pattern). Invincible decrease (inv dec) Pic 1: The pins show the stitches that will be crocheted together. Pic 2: Put hook through the front loops of both stitches. Pic 3: Yarn over and pull through both loops. Pic 4: Two loops on the hook. Pic 5: Yarn over and pull through both loops. Pic 6. Invincible decrease done! Page 3 (14)
Front post popcorn (fp-pop) I don t even know if this is a stitch, but it s not as difficult to do as it may sound. I crochet a fp-pop around an existing front post stitch. The front post stitches lie on top of the regular stitches. Take the hook from right, under the front post stitch and out on the left side of the stitch. It s just like a regular pop with 5 dc s, except you do them around the front post stitch. It might look a bit weird when only the 5 dc s are done but it will be fine when done. Finish the stitch just like a regular pop. Now you have a front post popcorn. Page 4 (14)

Assembly Place your pentagons and diamonds according to the picture to the right. Arrange the colors as you want them. You ll begin with crocheting 6 pentagons to each diamond. Make sure the right side of the diamond is towards you. You ll begin in the middle of one side of the diamond. Pentagon and diamond are lying backsides to each other. Crochet in BLO, as the picture to the left is showing. Use beige. Page 7 (14)

Continue towards the top of the triangle with sc in the back loops. In the top crochet 1 sc around both the pentagon and triangle ch, sl st in the joining from before, sc around the same ch of the triangle and the next pentagon ch.
