- Mark the 7-to-4 dot grid.
- In the centre draw three veined leaves — one pointing up and two pointing down to the sides.
- From the centre run curving stems out to the top, the two upper corners, the left and right sides and the bottom.
- At the top and at the left and right ends draw a three-petal bud — a tall middle petal between two side petals — with a dot in the petals.
- On each upper corner draw three petals with a spiral curl inside each, and wrap them in a large lobed outer petal with a dot.
- At the bottom draw three curled petals and enclose them in a large lobed outline that comes to a point, with a dot in the lower lobe.
