Learn to crochet an autumn leaf.
Are you ready to crochet autumn leaf patterns that capture the cozy charm of the season? With the fall season coming up, there is no better way to kick off the season than with a classic autumn leaf.
In this blog post, I will be sharing with you two ways to crochet fall leaves, one with seven petals and another with five. Both patterns work up quickly and are a lovely way to use up scraps of yarn in warm autumn colors.
Whether you want to make a garland, a set of coasters, or simply a maple leaf pattern to decorate your home, these fall leaf crochet projects are perfect for the season.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Now that everything is ready, I will be dividing this autumn leaf crochet tutorial by variation. Both patterns use the same base techniques, so once you get the hang of the first one, the second will come together even faster.
1: Fall Leaf 1
To start, let us make the first variation, which has seven petals.
MR, 5 CH, go back 2 chains, SL ST, SC, HDC, SC, SL ST
8 CH, go back 2 chains, SL ST, SC, HDC, 2 DC, HDC, SC, SL ST
10 CH, go back 2 chains, SL ST, SC, HDC, DC, 2 TR, DC, HDC, SC, SL ST

5 CH, go back 2 chains, SL ST, SC, HDC, SC, SL ST
8 CH, go back 2 chains, 8 SL ST (stalk)
Tighten the magic ring, hide the excess yarn, and cut off the rest.

Next, let us move on to the second variation. This one is similar to the first, but this time it only has five petals.

Extra Notes
While you are at it, here are a few extra tips to keep in mind.
- Feel free to change up the colors to suit your preference.
- When crocheted, it is completely normal for the leaf to puff up. Simply flatten it with a weighted object for a while and it will be alright.
