Pattern Correction & Tips

• Correction: Ensure even counting of chains and stitches to keep petal/leaf shape consistent.
• Tips:
  • Don’t make the magic ring too tight; the stick should fit through the pistil center.
  • Use small amounts of glue to avoid visible residue.
  • If your petals curl or ruffle excessively, gently block or shape them before assembly.
  • Use sharp scissors for clean thread trimming.
