Maple Leaf Applique
"Bring a touch of autumn to your makes with this free crochet maple leaf pattern from Lovable Loops. Designed for advanced beginners, this quick project uses simple stitches and easy shaping to create a classic maple leaf with a short stem and five pretty points. Each leaf works up in about 15–20 minutes, so it’s perfect for last-minute décor, craft fair stock, or a cozy afternoon of stash-busting. You’ll only need small amounts of worsted weight (#4) yarn in your favorite fall colors, a G-6 (4 mm) hook, scissors, and a yarn needle. Gauge isn’t important—use a larger hook for a bigger leaf or a smaller hook for a tiny accent. The finished maple leaf crochet applique measures about 4 in (10 cm) wide by 4 in (10 cm) tall, and the pattern is written in US terms. These little leaves are as versatile as they are cute. Stitch them onto hats, scarves, and bags as appliques, or string a bunch together to make a festive garland for your mantel or window. Work them in cotton for durable coasters, scatter them across your Thanksgiving table, or tie one onto a wrapped gift for a handmade touch. They also pair beautifully with my sunflower and pumpkin appliques for a full harvest theme. The step-by-step instructions guide you round by round, starting with a magic circle and simple increases, then moving into the leaf points with clear callouts. If you can single crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet, you can make this leaf with confidence. Whether you’re decorating your home, selling at markets, or adding flair to handmade gifts, this crochet maple leaf pattern will become a fall favorite you’ll return to year after year. Grab your yarn, pick your colors, and let’s crochet some cozy autumn magic!"
