Final Tip
For a professional finish on your hanging flower, ensure you keep the Popcorn Stitches aligned. Tighten your tension consistently when creating the 6 DC clusters and securing the Popcorn Stitch with a chain. Consistent tension prevents the petals from looking loose or misshapen, ensuring a uniform and attractive bloom.
