Some of the instructions missing, because the 2 ends needed to be sewn up before the strands wrapped round to make petals. Personally. it took a lot of work but the end result was not that great. I don’t like the look of the strands wrapped around it.
The flower sounded tons more complicated then the beanie! Directions were quite lengthy for flower!
