Frequently asked questions
How do the fruits stay flat with a dent?
The medallion mixes sc, hdc and two sl-st dips in Rnd 4 — the sl sts pull in the top and bottom like a real persimmon.
How is the eight-point calyx made?
Alternating ch-4 and ch-5 leaf spurs worked back with sc/hdc, each anchored with a sl st into the base ring.
