This is the original pattern two-wing version. Use double stitch counts as above.
Wally's Double Picot Flower - using thread #80
R: 8 / 2 / 8.

That means, make 8 ds, long picot (about 5/8"), make 2 ds, join to the long picot, make 8 ds more.

Repeat Ring until you have 4 petals. The last petal works like the other but before joining the picot to form the double picot, insert the picot through the picot in the bird's beak. Join the picot, make the last 8 ds clr. Finish ends.
