Pot Top Edging
Fold round 29 and 30 out, then sews it to row 28. Fold it once more but don’t sew it.

Finishing
Sew petals to center between rounds 9 and 10
Sew the leaves between the ball of earth and stem. Sew them on the left and the right side. Use photo as guide.
Sew the other side of the stem to the back of  flower.
If your flower can’t stand up well you can add the wire into the stem.

Note: To make your pot have a good foundation you can add a round piece of milk carton then cover it whit crochet. Work R1-R8 of pot steps... cut the yarn and leave long tail for sewing... Sew that cover into the pot..

The flower is done... You have made it...
