• Shape the flower by gently rolling/or wrapping around the spadix and stem—secure sides with hot glue as needed.
• Hold in place until glue sets.

Wrapping Stem

• Using green ribbon or floral tape, start at flower base and wrap down the length of the stick to the end.
• Secure with glue at both start and finish.

Coloring (Optional)

• Use a green crayon or fabric paint to shade lower inner edge of petal for realism.
• Save

Pattern Correction

• Counts between rounds should be 10 → 20 → 40 → 60 → 80 before shaping and final edging.
• Always align the petal tip (marked by 3 dc) centered with stem for authentic calyx shape.

Tips

• Use stitch markers for round counts and petal point placement.
• Adjust number of rounds or increases for a larger/smaller flower.
• Hide thread ends within the petal or along the stem during assembly for a neat finish.
