Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to chain the first stitch can lead to uneven edges; always start your rounds with a chain as specified. ✗ Misplacing the yarn can lead to uneven flower petals; keep tension consistent while crocheting for best results. ✗ Not using stitch markers can cause lost stitches; mark round starts to keep your counts accurate throughout the project. ✗ Rounding improperly can create an uneven shape; pay close attention to round counts and stitch types.
