It is recommended to use the "cross-stitch" (krestiki) crochet method for this project. To prevent the edges of the ribbon from tightening, chain the starting foundation loosely or use a slightly larger hook for the initial chain.

The ribbon and leaves are worked in turning rows. At the end of every row (except the last), work a ch and turn.
