Updated: Sep 23, 2023

Hey everyone! Love & Crochet presents to you another cute crochet decoration pattern, available for everyone on this post or as a low-cost, ad-free PDF on our pattern shop (below) or Ravelry store. Enjoy this mini project and hit us with any comments you have at the end of this page!



Before we get into the pattern, I have a super quick message for you. We display advertisements on this page using third-party cookies to show content relevant to you. This helps us provide this free blog post tutorial. Thank you for being here and enjoy the article!



Add a greener outdoor vibe to anything with this easy-to-crochet, rowan-inspired leaf. Use it as a coaster, add it to a plain shirt, or decorate a monotone room with it to bring the feel of nature back indoors. Make one or many- they are beautiful in all colors.


We do recommend making a handful of these! They look great in batches as any form of decoration. A variety of colors makes them stand out beautifully too- shades of green for realistic leaves or a variety to express a feeling. Post a picture in the comments of what you make! 👀🤩
