Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. Flower 1 - work all 3 rounds, Flowers 2-4 - work only 2 rounds.
2. Make sure your slip stitches to join flowers are neither too tight nor too loose - this helps maintain an even appearance across your squares.
3. Work your edging in the same color as your border for a cohesive look.
4. Take care to skip stitches as indicated - this helps maintain the correct stitch count and keeps your edges flat.
