4. Designer Notes / Tips
– Stitch technique: This pattern primarily utilizes single crochet (sc) and slip stitch (sl st) for a smooth and clean finish. If you’re unfamiliar with these stitches, don’t worry! There are plenty of tutorials available, and you’ll pick them up quickly.
– Assembly: Since this is a no-sew project, all flowers are formed using continuous rounds. Make sure to use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round to keep your work organized.
– Yarn substitutions: You can substitute any medium-weight yarn you prefer, but be mindful of the colors you choose to maintain the bouquet’s aesthetic.
– Gauge tips: While gauge isn’t critical for this project, keeping your tension consistent will ensure your flowers are uniform in size.
– Safety considerations: Since this project doesn’t include small parts that could be a choking hazard, it’s suitable for all ages. However, if you choose to use floral wire for the stems, ensure the ends are securely tucked away or covered.
