Here is a step-by-step tutorial for making the crochet piece in your image — a 3D layered leaf vine / green floral cluster. It looks like a repeating structure of folded puff leaves attached along a stem.

I’ll explain it in clear steps.

🌿 MATERIALS

• 2.0–2.5 mm crochet hook
• Fingering or sport-weight yarn in light green and dark green
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

🌱 PART 1 — STEM (dark green)

This stem is thick and slightly curved like in the picture.

Stem Pattern

1. Ch 26
2. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch to end. (25 sc)
3. Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc in each st. (25 sc)
4. Row 3: ch 1, turn, (sc, inc) repeat to end. (≈38 sc)
   This increases width so leaves can attach firmly.
5. Fasten off.

Your stem is ready.
Now you will attach leaves along this stem.

🍃 PART 2 — 3D FOLDED LEAF (BASE PATTERN)

All leaf sizes use the same technique; only chain length changes.

✔ Leaf Structure:

• Work down the chain
• Work back the opposite side
• Fold lengthwise
• Stitch the base to hold the puff shape

---

🌿 SMALL LEAF (for bottom section)

Pattern:

1. Ch 7
2. Round 1 (down the chain):
   • sc in 2nd ch
   • hdc
   • dc, dc
   • hdc
   • sc (tip)
3. Round 2 (other side of chain):
   • sc
   • hdc
   • dc, dc
   • hdc
   • sc
4. Sl st to first sc.
5. Do NOT fasten off. Fold the leaf lengthwise.
6. Sl st the bottom 3 stitches only to create the tight “petal puff”.

➡ Each small leaf should look like a “petal tube”.

Make 5 small leaves.

---

🌿 MEDIUM LEAF (middle section)

Same technique but longer.

Pattern:

1. Ch 9
2. Down chain: sc – hdc – dc – dc – dc – hdc – hdc – sc
3. Up chain: same on the other side
4. Fold & sl st base (4–5 stitches closed)

Make 6 medium leaves.

---

🌿 LARGE LEAF (top full head)

These are the big puffy “flower head” leaves in the photo.

Pattern:

1. Ch 11
2. Down chain:
   sc – hdc – dc – dc – dc – dc – dc – hdc – hdc – sc
3. Return same on opposite side
4. Fold lengthwise & sl st bottom 5–6 stitches

Make 12 large leaves.

---

🌼 PART 3 — ATTACH LEAVES TO THE STEM

✔ Bottom Cluster (small leaves)

• Count 4 stitches from stem bottom
• Insert hook, sl st a leaf to stem
• Add 3 small leaves close together
• Add 2 more slightly above

(They should face outward like a small tail.)

---

✔ Middle Cluster (medium leaves)

• Move up the stem 1.5–2 cm
• Attach 6 medium leaves
• Arrange around the stem
• Angle them slightly upward

(This part begins the thicker shape.)

---

✔ Top Cluster (large flower head)

This is the big round head in your picture.

• Move up the stem 1 cm
• Attach 12 large leaves around in a spiral:

Attachment order for perfect shape:

1. Leaf 1 at center front
2. Leaf 2 & 3 on left and right
3. Leaf 4 behind
4. Leaves 5–8 fill sides
5. Leaves 9–12 form outer ring

Push them tightly together.
Shape them with your fingers into a round pom-pom of leaves.

✨ EXTRA DETAILS FOR REALISTIC LOOK

✔ Slightly twist each leaf before attaching
✔ Use 2 shades of green for depth
✔ Attach leaves very close — no space between bases
✔ Steam lightly to set curves
✔ Bend the stem to mimic natural plant
