- Color changes are clearly explained for the leaves and flowers, but you may adjust sequence or palette for personal taste.
- You can substitute similar weight yarn or fewer/more flowers depending on availability and preference.
- Leaves and flowers are sewn by threading yarn tails through the coaster’s slip stitch spaces and securing with knots.
