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’
