Knitting Paulo is done both flat and in the round on double-pointed needles, with the stitches knit, purl, lifted increases, slip stitch over and knit/purl 2 together.

I-cord knitting is used for the roses; the pattern includes brief instructions for how to do that.

A little bit of embroidery is needed, including duplicate stitches; the pattern also has instructions, with pictures, for this.

The PDF pattern includes many pictures and easy to follow, row-for-row instructions.
