Pattern Corrections & Tips
Corrections:
- The original refers to “low point”—this means single crochet (sc) in US terms.
- “Invisible decreases” are recommended for a neat, seamless finish.
- Counts between rounds have been double-checked for accuracy and shaping.
Tips:
- Use stitch markers at the start of rounds to avoid losing track.
- For plumper hearts, stuff well but do not overfill.
- Shape leaves nicely before attaching for a finished look.
- If using wire instead of skewers, ensure wire is well wrapped to avoid poking through.
