🌸 10. Assembly Instructions
Step 1 — Prepare the motifs
Crochet all required flowers and medallions.
Block them individually so their dimensions are consistent.
Step 2 — Arrange the design
Lay five vertical strands side by side on a flat surface.
Alternate blue flowers and golden medallions.
Arrange the motifs so the design looks balanced.
Step 3 — Connect the motifs
Join motifs using royal blue chains.
Keep the gaps consistent.
Reinforce the joins with a tapestry needle.
Step 4 — Add the leaves
Sew green leaves beside selected flower motifs.
Distribute them naturally across the design.
Step 5 — Attach the strands
Mark five evenly spaced attachment points on the underside of the top band.
Sew one strand to each attachment point.
Step 6 — Make the second panel
Repeat the entire process to create a matching panel.
Step 7 — Add hanging loops
Attach five suitable curtain rings or loops to each panel.
Make sure each attachment is secure and can support the panel's weight.
Step 8 — Final blocking
Lay both curtains flat.
Check that the strands are straight and that the bottom edges align.
Allow the curtains to dry completely before hanging.

🧶 Professional Crochet Tips
1. Keep your tension consistent.
Use the same hook size and yarn weight throughout the project so the flowers and medallions remain uniform.
2. Block every motif before assembly.
Lightly dampen each finished motif, pin it into shape, and allow it to dry completely.
3. Measure before joining.
Lay the motifs on a flat surface and check the total curtain length before connecting them.
4. Reinforce the hanging strands.
Use a tapestry needle to strengthen attachment points, especially where the strands connect to the top band.
5. Adjust the pattern to your window.
The number of motifs and connecting chains can be increased or decreased to accommodate different window sizes.
6. Test the design first.
Make one complete sample strand before crocheting all ten strands. Check its length, weight, appearance, and durability.
