Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. When creating your Lemon Granny Square Style II, pay careful attention to working in the correct loops (front or back) at each stage, as this creates the distinctive layered effect.
2. Maintain consistent tension throughout, especially during color changes and textured stitches.
3. Keep your lemon slice overlay centered and well-defined by making precise increases and working post stitches evenly.
