This beautiful crochet motif features a lovely design inspired by Japanese plum blossoms (Ume), with five gentle, rounded petals. It is perfect for use as a coaster, an applique, or a small doily to add a touch of elegant Japanese aesthetics to your home.

Please note: The sample shown in IMG_2089_R.jpg was crocheted using commercially available yarn, not naturally dyed yarn.
