The finished wildflower is a circular motif with a cosmic theme, featuring a deep midnight blue center surrounded by layers of stardust silver, comet pink, and nebula purple. The texture is slightly raised with a mix of single and double crochet stitches creating a starburst effect. The petals have a gentle scalloped edge, giving the appearance of a blooming flower under a starlit sky. Enjoy your beautiful creation!
