Frequently asked questions
Why is it called a one-piece flower?
The whole bloom is crocheted continuously from one 52-chain foundation that spirals into stacked petal layers, so there is almost no assembly.
Do I need wire?
Only for the leaf — a length of craft wire is crocheted inside it so the leaf holds its shape.
