Maple leaves

Maybe they look a little like ivy leaves? Anyway, they are super easy and super quick to make. 10 minutes per leaf and only scraps of yarn.

Colorful Maple Leaves

sl st-slip stitch
sc-single crochet
dc-double crochet
tr-treble crochet

Round 1

Round 2

    1. Thank you, Mary Anne! I will add a picture about connecting them together tomorrow. After severely unsuccessful stringing and tangling them into a woolly mess I found a very simple way of attaching them to one another :)
