First, let's prepare the socks. We cut off the labels and begin to roll them in rolls in a spiral, trying to direct the turns a little down. At the same time, the degree of tension of the fabric should be regulated: do not twist the workpiece too loosely or, conversely, too tight.

Now slightly stretch the upper edge of the product, giving the "petals" a more realistic shape. Finally, take a pin and fix the bud with it. So, the first flower is ready.
