Useful Tips

1. Tension Control: Maintain consistent tension throughout to avoid distortion in the circular shape. Secure your stitches tightly when attaching pearls to prevent gaps.
2. Pearl Application: Use the finer crochet hook to effortlessly thread pearls onto the yarn. Pre-thread several pearls in advance to streamline the process.
3. Increment Pattern: Carefully count increasing stitches to maintain symmetry in the circular construction. Use stitch markers to designate important points if needed.
4. Resulting Diameter: Ensure the circle reaches approximately 11.5 cm as a guide for proper size before transitioning to the main body pattern.

  • Each round begins with Ch 3, followed by 3 additional Dc stitches in the same space.
  • Ch 1, skip 2 stitches, and work 4 Dc into the next space.

Arched Chain Sequence:

1. After anchoring the pearls, make a Ch 5 arch.

3. Repeat this process around the entire edge:
   • Create an arch (Ch 5).
   • Skip 3 stitches and anchor with Sc into the 4th stitch.
