I have been crocheting a lot of flowers recently. I have plans for them. I’m not just making them because I like flowers and I think they are nice, although if I didn’t think that I wouldn’t make them!
Flowers need leaves. At least the ones I have been making do! These leaves are very easy to make and are the correct size to work with the flowers.
They are made by crocheting 2 rows to form the centre, then the rest of the leaf is made by crocheting right the way round.

How to Crochet a Leaf
2. Ss into 2nd ch from hook, then ss to end.
3. 1 ch, then into the back of each stitch:
1 ss into each of the next 4 stitches,

1 dc into each of the next 3 stitches,
1 tr into each of the next 3 stitches,
1 dc into each of the next 2 stitches,
2 chains, then ss into 2nd chain from hook (this forms the point of the leaf).
You should be half way round! Now back down the other side:
1 dc into each of the next 2 stitches,
1 tr into each of the next 3 stitches,
1 dc into each of the next 3 stitches,
1 ss into each of the next stitches.
If you want to make some flowers to go with your leaves, have a look at my crocheted flower tutorials here:

Hi Anna! Made it here! Sorry to be so tardy, I was out all day and evening yesterday and today, have been desperately trying to tidy rather than blog! Love your leaves- they are really cool. I wonder if one could crochet a celery stick!? That’d make a cool Doctor Who themed brooch!x
That’s a very good idea and it would so work!! Hmm I’m now cooking up a pattern for crocheted celery!
