Repeat across.
Row 8: Reverse the pattern by chaining 5 and repeating the pattern for the reverse rows (5, 6, 4, 3, etc.).
Repeat steps 1-10 twice more to create three flowers along the length of the sleeve.

Creating the Body Panels

Follow the same steps as the sleeve panel, but start with 100 chains (for four flowers).
Repeat the same patterns (Rows 1-10) for the body panel.

Assembling the Sweater

Place two body panels on top of each other, aligning the stitches.
Stitch the panels together for 27 stitches at the top to create the neck opening (or adjust according to your preference).
With the wrong side facing up, connect the sleeves to the body panel at the middle of each sleeve's length.
Fold the sweater in half, ensuring the wrong side is still facing up.
Sew down the sides of the sweater and sleeves.
Turn the sweater right side out.

Customization

Adjust the number of chains based on adding or removing flowers in increments of 25 chain stitches.
Modify the neck opening by stitching more or fewer stitches at the top accordingly.
