Notes
-The pansy pattern is worked in a continuous round and joined at the end of each round.
-The leaves are worked back and forth in rows.
-The instructions for the small flower and the large flower are the same; the difference is the size of your hook and the number of stitches in each round.
-The leaves may be worked in a slightly different yarn than the flower if desired.
