• Tip: Count your stitches carefully on pattern repeats for symmetry.
• Tip: If using as a shawl or scarf, increase the number of repeats as needed for width/length.
• Tip: Sew flowers and leaves by hand for stability if item will be washed/worn often.
• Tip: For a wider bandana or shawl, use thicker yarn and larger hooks, maintaining the lace sequence.
