Leaf Appliques Crochet Pattern

Day 9 – Blooming Flowers Wall Hanging CAL

The Leaf Applique Crochet Pattern has 2 different leaf crochet patterns inside. I have used these appliques to embellish flower crochet patterns and used them in my Blooming Flowers Wall Hanging CAL.

I made my leaf appliques in 3 different colors. In total I made 6 of the smaller leaves and 6 of the larger leaves. You can make as many of these leaf appliques to add as many leaves as you’d like for your version of the Blooming Flowers Wall Hanging.

This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase using these links I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.)

I have a Blooming Flowers Wall Hanging eBook. It contains all 7 flowers crochet patterns, a leaf appliques crochet pattern with 2 versions and the Styrofoam Ring Cover Crochet Pattern. The eBook can be found at my Ravlery Store for a reduced price of $3.

Below you will find a FREE version of the 2 Leaf Appliques Crochet Patterns.

Shop LoveCrafts and find beautiful green colors for your leaves!

Long Stalks Placemat

The Long Stalks Placemat crochet pattern uses a crochet stitch I designed recently. It is called the triple crochet box stitch.

The Triple Crochet Box Stitch can be called the Triple Crochet X Stitch or the Triple Crochet Crossover Stitch. The design is a take of the Double Crochet X Stitch, it just uses triple crochet instead.

Boxy Bulky Cowl

I originally created the Triple Crochet Box Stitch for the Boxy Bulky Cowl. I wanted a longer stitch because I was using a #6 ply Bulky Yarn. I wanted to give the cowl a nice textured stitch that would create a drape to the cowl.

Most cowls are designed for a tighter stitch because most of them are worn to keep the chill out. Since I was using a bulkier yarn, I wanted something that wouldn’t cause the wearer to get too hot.

If you would like to try the Triple Crochet Boxy Stitch with a heavier yarn, like Paintbox Yarns Simply Super Chunky, you can find the premium crochet patterns at my Ravelry Store or LoveCrafts or at my Etsy Shop.

Triple Crochet Box Stitch

Special Stitches
Triple Crochet:
