Some ways to use this pattern:

Decorate crochet pumpkins!

If you are like most crocheters, then you probably have tons of crochet pumpkins all over your home this time of year (Check out my Mini Moss Pumpkin or my Baby Pumpkin patterns if you haven’t!). These fall crochet leaves are a fun way that you can add some decor to those pumpkins!

Crocheted coasters!

Coasters are a simple addition to your coffee or end tables, and you could definitely use this pattern to make some fall themed ones! Personally I would use some cotton yarn doubled up and a larger hook to do so, but the directions would be the same.

Hostess gift decor!

Tis the season for all the holiday parties! Can you imagine bringing a hostess gift decorated with a little crocheted fall leaf? Sounds pretty cute to me. Plus, it would take you way less time than actually wrapping it, if you are anything like me!

Fall Leaves Wreath!

I know that wreaths are a beautiful way to add some decor right to your door, and these crochet fall leaves would be such a fun way to create your own! You could even crochet a bunch in lots of colors to really make it stand out.

Create a Falling Leaves Garland!

The Falling Leaves Garland is such a fun fall pattern to use in your home, classroom, or wherever you want to add some festive flair. I personally love having mine right in my living room, but you could easily add it to a bedroom or even wrap it around a stair banister.

How to Crochet a Fall Leaf:

Supplies:

• 4 yards of Worsted Weight Yarn 
• H/8 5mm Crochet Hook
• Yarn Needle
• Scissors

Gauge:

Because the leaves are so small, there isn’t a way to get a proper gauge. The size of my leaves though are 2.75-3 inches across from Leaf Point 1 to Leaf Point 3. You don’t need an exact size since type of yarn will make a slight difference. However, if your leaf is too large, you can size down your hook, and if it is too small, then you can size up your hook as needed.

Notes:

• st – Stitch
• ch-Chain
• sc – Single Crochet
• hdc – Half Double Crochet
• dc – Double Crochet
• tr – Treble Crochet
• sl st – Slip Stitch

-Written in US terms.

-Chain at the beginning of rounds does not count as a st.

-Repeat the directions in the asterisks (*) across the row.

-Total st count for each round will be in the parentheses.

–Custom sizing: If you wish to make larger leaves, you can size up your hook and double up your yarn. The leaf may be slightly stiffer, but the pattern directions should work just fine.
