You need 5 sepals at all to join them to a rosette. For the fist sepal you start with a chain of 11 ch. Insert your hook into the 2nd chain from hook and crochet the first row along the chain: 01. sc 9, °sc 3° all into the last stitch, continue to crochet along opposite side of the chain: sc 7 - turn (19) 02. ch, sc 8, °sc 3°, sc 8 - turn (19) 03. ch, sc 9, °sc 3°, sc 7 - turn (19) 04. repeat row 02 05. repeat row 03 06. repeat row 02 07. repeat row 03 08. sc 7, °sc 3°, sc 1, °sc 3°, sc 7 (21) Now break the yarn and weave in ends - Alright one done - further 4 to go!

ASSAMBLING THE SEPALS TO A ROSETTE Take a first leave and rejoin the yarn in the center stitch of the leave's right corner (it should be the stitch in the middle of the 3 sc you've done in row 8). Crochet a first sc into the same stitch as join and work further 4 sc along the edge. Take a second leaf now. To assamble the leaves, insert your hookinto the center stitch of the 2nd leaf's right corner and crochet afirst sc into it. Work further 4 sc along the edge of the second leaf.Join all the sepals like that. When all leaves are lined up you got 25 stitches done. You have to join your leaf-garland to a ring now. To do so,start the following round 01 directly into the 1st stitchyou've made on the first leaf. From now on you work in a spiral. To keep the right count, place a marker into the 1st stitch of the rounds. 01. sc 1, [dec, sc 3] 4x, dec, sc 2 (20) 02. [dec, sc 2] 5x (15) 03. [dec, sc 1] 5x (10) 04.-08. (5 rnds.) [sc] across (10) 09. [dec] 5x (5) Break yarn and fasten off the remaining 5 stitches. How to fasten off remaining stitches in the round.

PLACE ROSETTE ONTO HOOD Before you sew the rosette onto the hood, you should fill in some soft stuffing into the stem. Place the rosette onto the hood slightly slopingly (see photos). Now sew the rosette in place using the remaining yarn tails from the rosette.

SEWING SEEDS ONTO ERNA'S BODY I used approx. 70 beads (size: 3 mm) to sew them onto ERNA's body. The distance between the beads on the upper body is less then on it's lower part. If you want to give ERNA to a child under the age of 3 you rather should embroider the seeds with yarn or embroidery floss.
