Pattern Instructions:
Leaf Motif:
- Begin with a magic ring and work 12 single crochet (sc) into the ring. Pull the ring tight, and join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc.
- Chain 6, skip 1 sc, sl st in the next sc. Repeat from * to * around the circle. You will have 6 chain-6 loops.
- In each chain-6 loop, work the following: (3 double crochet (dc), chain 3, 3 dc, chain 3, sl st). This forms the first leaf. Repeat this step in each of the 6 chain-6 loops.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
- To create the veins of the leaves, use a contrasting color of yarn and embroider a simple line down the center of each leaf using a yarn needle.
Assembly:

- Join the leaves together by slip stitching through the chain-3 spaces along the edges. Make sure to maintain the desired spacing between the leaves.
