PLEASE NOTE: For each leaf point, you will see instructions similar to this: “sc in next 4 sts. (3 hdc, ch 3, fold chain in half and sl st together, 1 hdc in next st.) sc in next 2 sts. sl st in next st.” Please note that the part of the instructions inside the parentheses go into only one stitch.

Below are step by step pictures to help if you get stuck. I am a left handed crocheter, so if the pictures look jacked up to you, that’s probably why. These directions will work whether you are left or right handed.
