Stitches Used:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet

Additional Terms:
2dc cluster: YO, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, YO, draw through 2 loops (1st stitch of cluster made), YO, insert hook into same st, pull up a loop, YO draw through 2 loops (2nd st of cluster made), YO, draw through all loops on hook.
2tr cluster: YO twice, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, YO, draw through 2 loops, YO, draw through 2 loops (1st stitch of cluster made), YO twice, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, YO, draw through 2 loops, YO, draw through 2 loops (2nd st of cluster made), YO, draw through all loops on hook.
2dtr cluster: YO three times, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, YO, draw through 2 loops 3 times (1st stitch of cluster made), YO three times, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, YO, draw through 2 loops 3 times (2nd st of cluster made), YO, draw through all loops on hook.
Elizabeth Stitch: insert hook into st, yo, draw up a loop, yo, insert hook into same st, draw up a loop, yo, pull through all 4 loops on hook. These stitches should be as tall as a sc stitch.
Center single crochet (center sc): insert hook through center (post) of designated st, yo and draw up a loop, complete as you would a regular single crochet.
Tiny picot: ch 1, sl st back into same ch
Back bar of sc: look at the back of the stitch and locate the short bar that runs horizontal. Work all designated stitches for the round into this bar. This is a different location than the back loop!
BLO = back loop only.
st/sts = stitch/stitches
sp/sps = space/spaces
prev = previous
sk = skip

Gauge:
On large leaf, circle should measure 2 ¼” across after round 4. Gauge is not particularly important for this project though.

Measurements:
Small Leaf: 2 3/4” wide, by 2 3/4” tall
Large Leaf: 5” wide by 5 ½“ tall

Additional Notes:
-ch-1 at beginning of round does not count as a stitch.
-Unless otherwise indicated, round begins in same stitch as join.
-I have listed colors as ”A”, ”B”, and ”C”, but you can choose what those colors are, and what color you want to use them in.
-Make your ch-2 and ch-3 sts somewhat tight.
-In addition to a light worsted weight yarn, I used a small hook and moderately tight tension for this project. You can use other brands of yarn, but your leaves will probably be larger and stiffer and not look quite like mine.
-Stitch count totals are listed in parentheses ( ) at end of round.
-Make as many leaves as you want for this project! You will just need a longer length of twine if you want to cover a larger space like a wall or stairway.
