2. If you notice curling in the petals, gently steam-block or press them flat for a perfect finish.

Tips

• Use Stitch Markers: Keep track of your starting stitches, especially when working in back loops.
• Customize Colors: Switch yarn colors to create a variety of sunflower designs.
• Tidy Finishes: Weave in ends carefully and block the piece for a professional look.
