Peony

*Part of the Petal by Petal A-Z series.* This pattern details the construction of a densely ruffled herbaceous peony. The flower is worked continuously from the center outwards using Tunisian crochet to create cupped petals, eliminating the need for individual petal assembly. Please note this pattern is written as a simple recipe intended for makers who are already familiar with Tunisian crochet stitches. The written pattern for the peony bloom is available to view on the [Made By PurpJe blog]. This printable PDF includes the additional instructions for the peony leaves. **Materials:** Fingering weight yarn: Yellow 1g; Pink 14g; Green 3g (per flower) Hooks: 2.5mm Polyfill stuffing (small amount for base) Optional: 2mm floral stem, floral wire, glue
