    I've been struggling for a way to make a leaf that I really like and this is it! I love the way you end up with a neat chain around the outside on both sides, and the sharp point on the end. Thanks!

    thanks for this pattern [as well as your zinnia & scarf]!!

    just wanted to let you know that there's a glitch on the youtube video for this leaf pattern ... it stops at 1:58 so the last 4 mins. can't be watched. :(

    I love the look of this leaf! However, I am having problems with the end of row 1. I do the ch 1 and then I am suppose to slip stitch in the ch1. When I do that I can not seem to pull it thru the chain left on my hook help???

    Hi cynh, Maybe you could try making your ch a little looser. Also, go through the back loop of the chain. Another thing you could try is switching to a smaller hook just for the sl st.

    Hope this helps,

    Jenn

    What size crochet hook do you use for this?

  15. JennApril 3, 2013 at 4:09 PM

    Hi Michelle, The most important thing is to use a hook that is appropriate for the weight yarn you have chosen. If you are working with worsted weight, an H or I would work well. If you are using a sport or DK, go a little smaller like a G.

    Jenn :D

    How generous of you to share the pattern for this beautiful leaf. How pretty they would be also in fall colors, adorning a little hat for an autumn baby!
