     • Total: 4 SC.
   • Row 2:
     • Chain 1, turn. SC across all 4 stitches.

3: Gray Back Panel

• Follow the instructions for the Black Base, but use the gray yarn instead.
• Create an identical panel to the black base and work all 5 petals in gray using the Bordeaux Petal pattern above.

Step 4: Adding Details

1. White Embroidery:
   • Use white yarn and tapestry needle to add details to the front panel:
     • 10 triangular shapes (1 stitch apart around the central black circle). Each triangle is made with 3 lines forming a “V” at the base and filled with two additional stitches.
       Save
     • Vertical strokes on each petal. Distribute ~3 lines on each Bordeaux petal randomly or symmetrically for added effect.
2. Weaving Ends:
   • Weave loose ends inside the panel to secure the embroidery.

5: Assembly

1. Prepare Wire:
   • Bend and shape the wire into a loose circular form fitting the base panels. Leave ~1 cm extra on each end to secure later.
2. Join Front & Back Panels:
   • Position the front (black+bordeaux side) and back (gray side) together with wrong sides facing inward.
   • Insert the wire between the panels.
3. Crochet Around the Edge:
   • Attach gray yarn to an edge stitch.
   • Crochet SC around the panels, joining them together while holding the wire in place.
     Save
   • Distribution:
     • 1 SC in middle (red petal base).
     • 4 SC per petal side and 1 SC at the petal tip.
     • Continue around.
4. Finish Edge:
