Fall Oak Leaves Free Crochet Pattern

Hey there! It’s that time of year again when the weather starts cooling off, and that only means one thing!

FALL IS COMING!!!

Which means

CROCHET SEASON IS COMING!!!

To kick the Fall/Crochet season off right, I decided to make a crochet pattern that celebrates fall, and what better celebrates fall than fall leaves?

I am rating the difficulty of this pattern to be between beginner and intermediate. I don’t think an absolute newbie to crochet should attempt it, but I think a beginner who has crocheted for a while and is ready to move on to some more difficult stuff could handle it.

I’ve included some step by step pictures of some of the more difficult concepts of the pattern to help you if you get stuck. Please note that they are not all the pattern instructions in its entirety; they are just to help you with the more difficult concepts of the pattern if needed. I am a left handed crocheter, so if the pictures look jacked up to you, that’s probably why. These directions will work whether you are left or right handed.
