As usual I will sleeve off my project. Crochet a leaf shape for the edge of sleeve.
This is my first trying leaf pattern, but it seem not so good.
Too loose construction, and too cloudy.
so I change the below pattern.

I found it on New 09 spring/Summer Hitomi Shida pattern book.
I love this tension and finish both edge of sleeve.
More, I prefer the structure look more steady.
So origanal pattern had only one stitch to connect to the green yarn, but I change to be 3 stitches or 2 stitches.
the result will be more firm and keep the shape better, even it was washed often.

My finger is painful, the stitch for connecting must be crochet tight to made the shape better.

today finish 4 round of flower.

But when i try it on, i felt the connection of sunflower and the blue one had a little bit tight for me. I need to frog this tomorrow and arrange the stitch again.

Poor finger, more work.

Not easy to find a suitable yarn for the blue flower.

During crochet the black-whith flowers, i remember this blue stash. Double the yarn to crochet the blue flower. Just great, fit 3cm.
Ha Ha!! Chain of flowers, I am headache of the end of yarns. Tons of ends to handle.
Oh my god, i want more flower, but must kill the ends.

Tons Tons of end. Horrible.

Try to connect the first round of red flowers. It looks quite satisfy. I use Online28 moss green color, it has a silky shine.

Fine , the second round also finish. i try them on my neck.
