Flowers.—Work solid in shades of Pink, 655.7, 678, 679, 680, 682. Use only one shade for a petal. Make the back petals in 679, 680; the middle or center petals with 655.7, 678; and those nearest the stem in 680, 682. Be careful to keep the petals separate. See Colored Plate XV.
Leaves.—Work the leaves under the flower solid with green, using 782 for the edge, and 781 for the crescent or horseshoe. At the base of the leaves near the stem work a few stitches of 783, using the same shade for the stems. (Easy.)
