Important Pattern Notes

- Magic Ring Start: Ensures the yellow floral center cinches 100% tight with no center hole.

- Treble Crochet (tr): Yarn over twice, insert hook, [yo, pull through 2 loops] 3 times.
- Attachment Tails: Leave an 8-inch yarn tail when fastening off if you plan to sew the flower onto a hat, cardigan, or bag.
