Pattern Corrections & Tips

Corrections:

• Ensure the petals are rolled gently and overlap naturally.
• Insert wire early in the leaf for clean edges.
• Always use a slip stitch to join rounds and finish off cleanly.

Tips:

• Use strong glue and allow adequate drying time for assembly.
• For added stability, extend the green yarn wrapping down onto the display base.
• Make your leaves in varying lengths for a more organic, lifelike look.
• For even softer petal edges, block the flower piece after crocheting and before assembly.
