Crafting The Crochet Leaf Sprout
Materials:
- Yarn of your choice
- Crochet hook suitable for your yarn
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Step by step Pattern
1. Starting the Leaf:
- Begin with a slip knot.
- Chain 10 stitches.
2. First Side of the Leaf:
- Skip the very first chain from the hook. In the second chain, make a single crochet.
- In the next stitch, make a half double crochet.
- Make 1 double crochet in each of the next two stitches.
- Make a triple crochet in the next stitch. To do so, yarn over two times before inserting your hook, then yarn over and pull through two loops three times.
- Make 1 double crochet in each of the next two stitches.
- In the next stitch, make a half double crochet.
- In the last stitch, make a single crochet, chain one, and then another single crochet in the same stitch.
3. Second Side of the Leaf:
- You will now work on the opposite side of the chain stitches you initially made.
- Starting with the stitch adjacent to the last, make a half double crochet.
- Make 1 double crochet in each of the next two stitches.
- Make a triple crochet in the next stitch.
- Make 1 double crochet in each of the next two stitches.
- Make a half double crochet in the next stitch.
- In the very last stitch (where you started), make a single crochet and then a slip stitch into the first single crochet made on this side of the leaf.
4. Starting the Second Leaf:
- Chain one.
- Repeat the pattern starting from the 10 chain stitches, mirroring all steps you did for the first leaf.
5. Center Stem:
- After completing both leaves, make a single crochet in the center (base) of the first leaf where the chain starts.
- Chain 40.
- Count 15 chains from the hook, and in the 15th chain, make a slip stitch.
- Work slip stitches back down the chain towards the center point (base) of the leaves for about 25 slip stitches or until you reach the base.
- Make a final slip stitch in the chain space at the base of the leaves.
6. Finishing:
- Make a surface slip stitch along the center of each leaf to define the midrib.
- Chain one and cut your yarn. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle.
