Finishing & Tips
Keep your tension consistent, especially through the petal rounds where color changes create texture. Make bobbles and cluster stitches tight and pronounced to enhance the hibiscus relief. When your square is complete, block it gently to even the stitches and help the flower detail lie flat and look crisp. Use these squares as individual motifs or join multiple squares to create afghans, bags, or other projects.
