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’

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!
Thank you!
I was actually wondering if I would be able to sell the finished product while mentioning where I got the pattern from? Thank you!
Yes of course 🙂
Thank you oh so much! 😀
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!
Great pattern! I’ll definitely be trying it. Thanks!
This is super cute! I wish I knew how to crochet.
Thanks Michelle 🙂 Maybe this is your time to start? xo
Gorgeous photos and great tutorial. I enjoyed following along the video tutorial but I shared your post on my blog. Thanks for sharing this beautiful and simple Fall project <3
My pleasure I am so glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sharing 🙂 xo
Of course! <3
I was wondering the same as well. I have a shop on Etsy (MountainLaurelLynne).
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!
