I have used this pattern in several projects, and moreso recently. I decided it was time to give it it’s own post.
You can use this to accompany some beautiful flowers, like I did on my Turqua Spring Wreath, or as an applique on any number of things.

love these, very creative, i will have to make some for next fall!
Would love to see what you make with them!
Thank you for sharing the pattern at The Really Crafty Link Party! Pinned!
What a sweet little pattern, thanks.
So welcome! I don’t know about you, but I find the possibilities for these sweet things a little overwhelming. Where to start? Hehe.
Such cute little leaves! I’ve featured them today at Thursday Favorite Things–thanks for sharing!
So kind of you! Thanks, Pam! Popping over in a few.
Love this pattern, how would you make the leaves bigger?
You can use a thicker yarn and hook, or add more foundation chains, and stitches in the center that add another yarn over and pull through than the previous one.
