Free Leaf Charm Crochet Pattern with Video Tutorial
Posted by admin on
Want to add a cute embellishment to your project? Here's a quick, easy, and free tutorial for you!
The Leaf Charm is a lovely applique that can be added to bags, purses, keychains, jewelry, lanyards, and more. It makes a great add-on for spring, summer, and plant or botanical-themed projects.
I used KnitPicks Billow Yarn, which is a bulky weight 5 yarn that is 100% Pima cotton. You're welcome to use any weight of yarn you'd like, and I think acrylic, cotton, or other fibers with decent stitch definition (e.g., not too furry) would create a nice look for this pattern!
