Row 2: Sc in 2nd Ch from hook and in each Ch across. (3 Sc)

Make a second identical strip for the other side of your watch strap.
Assembly
Lay out your two Light Green watch strap base strips.
Arrange the Cream flowers, Light Yellow flower buds, and Light Green leaves onto the strips, mimicking the clustered, organic look from the image. Place a few leaves near the watch face attachment point, and cluster flowers along the strip, incorporating buds and leaves.
Using the long tails left on each crocheted piece and your tapestry needle, carefully sew all the flowers, buds, and leaves securely onto the Light Green base strips. Weave in any remaining ends.
Once both floral strips are complete, carefully position them over your existing watch strap sections. Using Light Green yarn and your tapestry needle, sew the edges of the crocheted floral strips onto your existing watch strap. Stitch discreetly along the edges to secure them firmly, ensuring the watch functions properly.
