Crochet Dahlia Assembly

1. Wrap the stem and add leaves.
2. Secure with glue and display the Flower.

Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. Crochet the leaves first, then crochet the flower.

2. When crocheting petals, work the afghan stitches.

3. Crochet the chain stitches for petals a bit loosely to make it easier to work the afghan stitches.

4. For the petal sections, distinguish clearly between front loop only (FLO) and back loop only (BLO).

5. Crochet the flower center, petals, and base as one continuous piece.

Assembly Tips:

1.Stuff the flower base with cotton after completing the fourth round.

2. Add wire for shaping and stuff with cotton after completing the fifth round of the flower base.

3. After finishing the last stitch of the flower base, don't cut the yarn; instead, start wrapping the stem directly.

4. Wrap the stem tightly for a neater appearance.

5. When using glue, apply small amounts multiple times for secure fastening. 6. Shaping is crucial after assembly is complete.
