Size:

Each leaf measures approximately 6 inches long and 4 inches wide.

Gauge:

Not critical for this project, but make sure your leaves are uniform in size.

Instructions:

Leaf Pattern (make 10-12):

1. Chain 10 with color A (e.g., orange).
2. Row 1: In the 2nd chain from hook, make 1 single crochet (sc), then 1 half double crochet (hdc) in the next chain, and 1 double crochet (dc) in the next three chains. Turn.
3. Row 2: Chain 2, and in the same stitch, make 1 dc, then 1 hdc in the next stitch, followed by 1 sc in the next 3 stitches. Turn.
4. Row 3: Chain 1, and make 1 sc in the first stitch, 1 hdc in the next stitch, and 1 dc in the next two stitches. Finish off, leaving a long tail for assembly.
5. Change colors to finish the leaf in green for the stem. Make a small chain (about 3-4) and slip stitch back into the first chain to form a loop. Secure and cut yarn.

Assembly:

1. Twist the leaves before each attachment to give them dimension.
2. Using the long tail, thread through the top of each leaf and attach to the yarn string or cord spaced evenly.
3. Ensure the leaves are secured well and adjust spacing according to your preference.
4. Weave in any loose ends with the tapestry needle.

Finishing:

Hang your whimsical leaf garland wherever you like – it’s perfect for celebrating the fall season!
