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, 


4 dc in next 4 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,
Rnd 2:  sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next st, hdc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st, repeat 3 times, 5 dc in last st, working now on the opposite side, dc in next 4 sts, hdc in next 2 sts, sc in last 2 sts, sl st fasten off.
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. 
Any questions, please dont hesitate to contact me .
