Yarn:

  • Any color or weight you prefer; approx. 10 yds to make one piece.
  • Red Heart Super Saver yarn was used to make the leaf shown in the pattern’s Step-by-Step guiding images.

Tools:

  • Crochet hook: the size depends on the yarn weight; Try to use a smaller size hook than recommended on the yarn label. A 3.5 MM hook was used for making the leaf shown in the Step-by-Step guiding images.
  • Yarn needle: any size, as long as the yarn can go through the eye, and the needle can go through stitches
  • Stitch markers
  • Scissors

The size of the leaf depends on the yarn weight and the crochet hook size. As a reference, with Size 4 Medium yarn (gauge info on yarn label: 5.5 MM/12 SC/15 R) with a 3.5 MM crochet hook,
the size of the leaf is approximately 4 inches across.
