Crochet Fall Leaf Charm

My new white raffia crochet bag needs a new charm, so I crocheted some fall leaves and strung them together to make a simple charm.

You can make this beautiful crochet leaf for fall using this free pattern. It is a simple crochet pattern with both written instructions and a diagram to aid in the process.

I just love how the fall leaf charm spice up the boring white tote. I have to say that it is another easy and quick project to whip up in a day. I used raffia yarn for this crochet leaf pattern since it matches the white raffia tote I have just completed. You could crochet it by using your leftover yarn from other projects too.

The crochet leaf pattern comes in 2 forms, a written instruction and a chart diagram. This fall foliage is about 3″ x 5″, crochet from raffia yarn and with 2.5mm hook. The vein is sewn on with a tapestry needle. In the event of using other yarn to crochet, you will get different sizes of crochet leaf according to the weight of the yarn and hook size you are using.

“Falling leaves tumble from the interlocking branches above, branches that grow so thickly only bright gaps of sunshine break through. As autumn marches toward winter there will be only those fine strands of brown in the distance and the sunlight will cascade to the forest floor unhindered.” ~ By Angela Abraham, August 12, 2015.

Happy crocheting and enjoy the fall season with all of the leaf shedding, cooler temperatures, and longer nights. I’d rather stay inside and work on my craft while drinking a cup of tea. So, how about you?
