My wreath was sooo ruffled. My heart must be a little different. I couldn’t get the wreath to lie very flat. Wanted to curl up a lot. Any suggestions?
Sorry. I meant my yarn must be a little different.
Hi Catherine! Your yarn may be a little thicker or perhaps you have a looser tension than I. You can try using a smaller crochet hook or work less stitches around. Maybe try Working 14 or 16 SC for round 1 and see if that makes it less ruffled. Hope that helps!
