Tips

Work in continuous spiral rounds and move your stitch marker up every round.
Count your stitches at the end of each round; the number in brackets is what you should have.
Use a hook a size smaller than your yarn label suggests, so the stuffing doesn't show.
Make one for each place setting, or a few together as a table centrepiece.

Embroider the small smile on the face around Rnds 3-4 with colour B.
Flatten each Petal (do not stuff) and sew its open end closed.
Sew the petals to the back at Rnd 6. Evenly spaced all the way around the edge, edges touching, pointing outwards like a ring.
Sew the face to the back at Rnd 6. Wrong sides together, all the way round over the petal ends, stuffing lightly before you close it.
Sew the stem to the back at Rnd 6. At the bottom edge, open end up, lightly stuffed.
Sew the leaf to the stem between Rnds 3 and 4. On one side, its tip pointing out and up, lightly stuffed.
