Project day 19 - 21; Three Irish crochet motifs

Irish crochet project...

I will make 3 flower motifs, for my upcoming item I want to crochet.  I read these patterns in a diagram from  here.
It is going to be hopefully a beautiful girls headscarf, perfect for spring / summer.
I made one today in simple shell pattern, and absolutely loved it.
Thought maybe I can glam it up a bit, and make one in Irish crochet style.
That way I get 2 things done, continue with my promise on making a flower motif pattern a day, and creating a new crochet item, for my collection.


Materials:

Hook 1.75 mm
Patons 100% 4 ply cotton
scissors
tapestry needle

Stitches used:

Ch - chain
Sc - single crochet
Hdc - half double crochet
Dc - double crochet
Sl st - slip stitch

Motif number 1

Rnd 1: Ch 9, sl st.

Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc,

2hdc, 2dc, 2 hdc, 

sc in the ring, sl st, fasten off. Sew in the thread using tapestry needle.

 Motif number 2.

Rnd 1: Ch 7, sl st.

Rnd 2: Ch 1, 14 sc in the ring, sl st

Rnd 3: Ch 4, sc in the 3rd stitch, ch 4, sc in the 3rd st and so on all around,until you have 5 arches, sl st in the first ch from the beginning.

Rnd 4: Sc, hdc, 5dc,hdc, sc in the first arch 

and so on until you have 5 petals, fasten off. Sew in the end of the thread.

Motif number 3

Rnd 1: Ch 10

Rnd 2: sc in the 2nd ch from hook, sc, in next st, 

hdc in next 2 sts,

5 dc in last st, 

continue working on the other side now, 2 dc in next st, repeat for next 3 sts, hdc in next 2 sts, sc, in last 2 sts, sl st, fasten off.

To make this leaf curve on the oppossite side follow this:
Rnd 1: Ch 10,

So these are the 3 motifs I am gonna use for my Irish crochet project, next time, I should have a ready product and shuld be able to share the pictures.
Hope you could use some of these motifs, fo your crochet projects.
