Perfect 🌿 crochet tutorial for the leaf chain pattern in the photo — let’s go step-by-step with extra explanation so you can follow easily, even if you’re a beginner.
🧶 Crochet Leaf Chain Tutorial (Very Detailed)
🪡 Materials
- Yarn: Light or medium weight (cotton or acrylic works well)
- Hook: Size 3.0mm–4.0mm (depending on yarn thickness)
- Scissors & needle: For cutting and weaving ends

🌿 Step 1: Start the Foundation
- Make a slip knot on your hook.
- Chain 14 (this is the base for your first leaf).
💡 If you want smaller leaves, chain 10 instead.
🌿 Step 2: Work the First Half of the Leaf
Work into the second chain from your hook, and do the following stitches all in the same chain:
- 1 Single Crochet (SC)
- 1 Half Double Crochet (HDC)
- 1 Double Crochet (DC)
- 2 Treble Crochets (TR)
- Yarn over twice, insert into the chain, yarn over, pull through (you have 4 loops), yarn over, pull through 2 loops three times.
- 1 Double Crochet (DC)
- 1 Half Double Crochet (HDC)
This forms one side of the leaf.

🌿 Step 3: Make the Leaf Tip
- Chain 2
- Then make 1 Single Crochet (SC) into the same stitch where you worked the last group — this creates the point (tip) of the leaf.
🌿 Step 4: Work the Second Half of the Leaf
Now you’ll crochet down the other side of the chain foundation, doing mirror stitches:
- 1 Half Double Crochet (HDC)
- 1 Double Crochet (DC)
- 2 Treble Crochets (TR)
- 1 Double Crochet (DC)
- 1 Half Double Crochet (HDC)
- 1 Single Crochet (SC)

🌿 Step 5: Close the Leaf
- Slip Stitch (SL ST) into the base chain or the starting point.
- Now you have one complete leaf.
🌿 Step 6: Make the Leaf Chain
- Chain 8–12 (this is the space between leaves — longer chain = more distance).
- Repeat Steps 2–5 for each new leaf along the chain.
💡 You can make as many leaves as you want — it’s a continuous pattern!

🌿 Step 7: Finishing
- After the last leaf, cut the yarn and pull through to fasten off.
- Use a yarn needle to weave in the loose ends neatly on the back.
- You can steam block or flatten your leaves slightly if needed.
✅ Optional Variations
- Use different shades of green for a realistic vine effect.
- Add tiny flowers between leaves.
- Stitch the chain on fabric or edge of a blanket for decoration.
