I bought quite a bit of pumpkins from Dollar Tree when they first hit stores a couple months ago. I wanted to stock up in case they ran out later on.

At the time, I envisioned making my own pumpkin leaves, and adhering to the tops. It’s taking me a bit to get around to making them, but I am so pleased with this adorable little leaf!

What Supplies Do I Need to Crochet a Leaf?

• 5 Yards of Yarn – I used Emma’s Yarn Comfy Cotton DK (lightweight) in Canopy (darker) and Freshly Cut (lighter), as well as WeCrochet Dishie (worsted weight) in Jalapeno (darker) and Honeydew (lighter)
• LARGER SIZE: H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• SMALLER SIZE: G6/4.25mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:

You can use any yarn with respective size crochet hook to work this applique in various sizes.

Jewelry pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends, as cotton yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle. I never need with Dishie, but I do with some others.

Time Spent:

From start to finish, I was able to work up a leaf in about 9 minutes.

Measurements – Width (at Widest) by Height:

• Comfy Cotton DK with H8/5mm Hook: 3.13″ (3 1/8″) by 2.88″ (2 7/8″)
• Comfy Cotton DK with G6/4.25mm Hook: 2.88″ (2 7/8″) by 2.38″ (2 3/8″)
• Dishie with H8/5mm Hook: 3.25″ (3 1/4″) by 3″
• Dishie with G6/4.25mm Hook: 3″ by 2.75″ (2 3/4″)

Abbreviations – US Terms:

• HDC – Half Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
• SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
• DC – Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
• TR – Treble Crochet (sometimes called a Triple Crochet; to start, yarn over 2x to have 3 loops on your hook, then [yarn over and pull through 2 until back to just one loop on hook])

Pattern Notes

In Round 2, I will split the beginning increase to help keep my seam straight, and less noticeable, and also to prevent a gap between the last stitch and the first. You can increase as you’re comfortable.

In Round 3, in the middle of the petal we work a chain and slip stitch to the first – this is to create a point sort of like a picot.
