Tips for this pattern
- The main color is White (H2): 119 beads, about 56% of the piece. Placing it first makes the shape easy to follow.
- Marigold (G5) and Sunflower (A26) look alike, so keep them in separate dishes to avoid mixing them up.
- Sunflower (A26, 4) is used for just a few beads, for the small details. Place it last while looking at the pattern.
- It fits on one 29×29 pegboard for 2.6 mm beads.
