How To Crochet a Leaf

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.crocheted leaf

  2. 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

    1. That’s a very good idea and it would so work!! Hmm I’m now cooking up a pattern for crocheted celery!
