Worthy of Note
You will make a total of 18 (72, 143) hexagons. It is best to plan your colors before beginning to ensure you have the right amount for each flower color. You may use the hexagon chart on p.2 to plan your layout.

The final edging round is worked on the wrong side. The pompoms for the edging are made by “folding” two cluster stitches onto one another.
