Tips:

1. Tension Control: Keep your stitches even by applying consistent tension throughout your work. This will ensure uniformity in the finished piece.
2. Wire Insertion: When incorporating wire, make sure to place it parallel to your working yarn right before starting the second round, as it adds structure to your petals and leaves.
3. Customizations: Feel free to adjust the number of chains and stitches to scale your flower up or down to your liking.
4. Markers: Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginnings of rounds or significant stitches, especially when working with intricate patterns or when using wire.
5. Blocking: To set the shape of your flowers and leaves, you can gently block the finished pieces. Avoid direct heat if the yarn can melt or distort.
6. Ending Work: Securely weave in all loose ends to prevent unraveling, especially important when working with the extra elements like wires.
