How to Crochet a Maple Leaf

It seems a little complicated but take your time and you will be able to make the crochet maple leaf following the instructions below or watching the youtube maple leaf video tutorial.

The crochet maple leaf starts by working continuous rounds increasing in each round.  This forms the middle part of your leaf 😊.

From there you are going to be building out each point.  This is done by working multiple double crochets into one stitch creating almost a scallop stitch.

The last step is to work the points this is done by adding multiple stitches that are different heights.  This is what creates the ‘point’

    Sweet pattern! I would also love to see it adjusted to use a regular worsted weight yarn if possible.

    I really like this pattern but the only yarn I have is medium weight. Is there a way to adjust for the lighter yarn? Thank you so much!

    I was actually wondering if I would be able to sell the finished product while mentioning where I got the pattern from? Thank you!

    In point 1, I was only able to do 5 sc then the 3 hdc. The I structions say to fold the ch 3 and slst into 1st hdc, but when I watched that part of the video to figure it out, it went into the 3rd hdc. Its a lovely pattern and I paused in my pattern searchustso I could have a pretty maple leaf (in blue wool). Thanks!

    Love the leaves 🙂 And you use such pretty colours! Would make a pretty garland too! And funny how everyone thinks the same – I designed one for Canada Day, but yours is a softer looking maple leaf!

      Thank you! LOL Could it be the Canadian in us? I thought about a garland as well that would be really pretty!
