Easy Crochet Leaf Pattern, Step-by-Step Tutorial for Beginners

Today I’d like to invite you to crochet with me these beautiful simple autumn leaves! 

Last fall, I made maple leaves, and that tutorial is already available on my channel. The leaves I’ll be making today are similar, they use the same crochet technique, but they’re actually much easier to make than the maple ones. 

If you master these simple leaves, you’ll be ready to move on to the maple version in no time.

If you’d like to make the maple leaves, I have a full step-by-step tutorial available for free on my YouTube channel. It walks you through the entire process, so you can follow along with ease.

If you prefer working from a written pattern, you can find the PDF version in my Etsy and Ravelry shops. 

I love both kinds. The maple leaves make wonderful coasters, while these smaller leaves are perfect as appliqués, bookmarks, garlands, or any type of autumn décor you can imagine.

Materials

• Yarn: YarnArt Begonia, category 2, 100% mercerized cotton

• Hook: Size D (3.25 mm)

• Finished measurements: approximately 5.5 inches (14 cm) long and 1.25 inches (3 cm) wide

You can, of course, experiment with different yarn weights and hook sizes to create larger or smaller leaves.

This is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern that works up quickly and beautifully. 

The technique is very similar to my maple leaf tutorial, just simplified, making it a perfect first step if you’re new to crocheting motifs.

The written pattern is available in my Etsy and Ravelry shops.

You can also watch the full video tutorial on my YouTube channel.

I hope you’re enjoying this gorgeous season as much as I am. Fall has always inspired my crochet: the changing leaves, warm colors, and cozy textures.
