Pattern Notes
1) Before you start choose the size of the leaf and use the correct crochet hook accordingly. Please see bellow.
2) A Ch 3 at beg of the row counts as dc throughout.
3) Finish rounds with sl st
4) This happy fall crochet leaf is worked first in the round and then later in rows to create the many lobes around the circle. It's really a wonderful design — you can create smaller or larger leaf that would make a great coasters, doilies or wall art. If you will work with bulky yarn and a larger hook and use the pattern to create a floor rug or wall art.
5) If you like to make the same pattern, adding leaves in different colours is a great way to create a small change. This leaf design can be worked in every colour of the rainbow to use in any season of the year.
6) For this pattern you can choose the crochet hook depending on size of the leaf you want to have:
crochet hook 3mm for red leaf
crochet hook 2mm for green leaf
