Notes
Crochet Tips:
1. Maintain consistent tension throughout all layers of petals.
2. When working the front and back loop only stitches, be careful not to pull too tightly.
3. For the picot details on the petal edges, keep them small and neat.
Assembly Tips:
1. Use a small amount of fabric glue when attaching the flower center to ensure it stays in place without being visible.
2. Position the leaf slightly off-center behind the flower for a more natural look.
