Pattern Corrections & Tips
Corrections:
- If leaf instructions use “medium bow/midpoint,” substitute with “hdc.”
- Increase rounds alternate increases for smooth circle; follow pattern exactly for petal volume.
- Calyx tips can be made longer or shorter with chain length adjustments.
Tips:
- Use cold silicone glue and allow full drying before handling.
- Wrap wire tightly for a clean finish and durability.
- For sturdier stems, use thicker stick or multiple strands of green yarn.
- Block leaves and petals lightly for extra definition.
