Crochet oak leaves

It’s such a beautiful sight outside, the leaves have fallen from the trees and are turning into lovely autumn colors. That inspired me to crochet some oak leaves. 🍂

They’re easy to make; it’s a two row pattern. And you can use them for many different creations. I decided to turn mine into an autumn garland. What would you make with them?

You will need:

• Any yarn (I used cotton)
• Crochet hook (I used a 2.75 mm hook)
• Scissors
• Darning needle
• Stitch markers (optional)

Abbreviations:

sc = (US) single crochet = (UK) double crochet
hdc = (US) half double crochet = (UK) half treble crochet
dc = (US) double crochet = (UK) treble crochet
tr = (US) trouble crochet = (UK) double treble crochet
sl st = (US/UK) slip stitch
ch = (US/UK) chain
