How to stitch

Petals are DMC 718, the center is DMC 743, and the stem and leaves are DMC 702. The chart is 13 stitches wide, so one column is the center and the stem sits on it. Count the petals out from that column.

Reading the thick grid lines and the center marks is covered in how to read a pattern.
