Today, I would like to share with you this quick and easy crochet leaf applique pattern.
This pattern works up really quickly, uses very little yarn, and you can crochet it with any leftover yarn you have in your stash.
I’m planning to use these leaves as embellishments on a flower wall hanging that I hope to finish sometime soon.
In the meantime, here is the free crochet pattern for these cute leaves.
