Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. Pay close attention to your tension so all parts are uniform in size. Handle the wire gently when adding it to chains to avoid splitting the yarn. Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds and increase points, especially in the flower crown.

2. For the flower core, keep your yarn wrapping tight and even for a neat appearance. When working on the leaf, the long foundation chain with wire allows shaping—gently curve it after completion for a natural look.

3. During assembly, arrange the petals and adjust positions before securing with glue to achieve the best final appearance.
