Stitches used in this pattern (US terms):
**See stitch instructions from the separate Stitch Tutorial file >> Click Here <<
Crocus border
The 1stround of the Crocus Border is crocheted before making the Passiflora flowers that go in between each square.
CHOOSE a 0.5 mm SMALLER HOOK THAN THE HOOK YOU USED BEFORE. This way your border will look nicer and not become wavy. Please work quite tightly and if needed, change hook to an even smaller size. Use the same size hook for every rnd of the Crocus Border.
Start with Standing Single Crochet.
