Lovely pattern and outcome! The flower is very realistic, and the pattern includes yarn tips on how to make it perfect. The assembly photos that accompany the steps are a great help. This pattern makes a unique and lovely set for decoration, or any purpose. I used a cotton yarn and made the Lily Pads into coasters and added two flowers as decoration around the coasters. A simple, yet elegant flower with easy to understand instructions! HIGH RECOMMEND!!! Thanks June!
