Pattern Correction & Tips
Pattern Corrections
- Always count your stitches after each round, especially when beginning with stacked single crochet or chain 3; missing or adding corners can throw off your square.
- Ensure you only use FLO (round 4) and BLO (round 5) as specified for the petal effect.
Tips
- Block your finished squares for best results.
- Vary your colors for contrasting petals and square background.
- Use a stitch marker to identify your starting point, especially when working into loops only.
- If the center hole is too large, weave through the first round with yarn and pull gently to minimize the gap.
