Specific Yarn Used: Nazli Gelin Garden 10 (distributed by Universal Yarn) (100% cotton; 306 yd [280 m]/1¾ oz [50 g]): #700-02 cream, 1 ball.
Hook: Size 5 (1.9mm) steel hook.

Notes:

• Star flakes #1 and #2 are worked in joined rounds. Do not chain at beginning of rounds unless otherwise stated.
• Star flake #3 is made in a single continuous round, one point at a time. When making flat-loop picots, do not let working loop slip off the hook. If it does, be sure to replace it in the proper orientation. Star flake #3 will be very curly. Place a stitch marker in each completed point to help prevent twisting.
