Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. When crocheting, don't miss any stitches.
2. Maintain consistent tension throughout to ensure all petals are the same size.

Assembly Tips:

1. Apply glue to the first round of the flower center.
2. Use small amounts of glue multiple times for secure fixation rather than one large glob.
3. Shaping the assembled piece carefully after glue application helps the rose hold its form.

Finishing suggestions: Weave in loose ends neatly and trim excess yarn. If desired, lightly press or steam from a distance to shape the petals (test on scrap yarn first).
