Crochet Leaf Patterns
Crochet leaf patterns are usually worked along both sides of a foundation chain, using graduated stitch heights from short at the tip to tall in the middle. Leaves complete flower bouquets and appliqués, and fall-colored leaves make seasonal garlands. A slip stitch vein worked down the center adds realistic detail.
