9 Leaves – Crochet Quiet Book Page 9

My crochet leaf pattern makes it’s appearance again with 9 green leaves on a branchy tree for the 9th page of my Earth Day Crochet Quiet Book! I would love to see one of you make the leaves in different colors as well so it looks like it’s the autumn season. So many ways to tweak all of the crochet pages I have posted!

I am making an Earth Day Crochet Counting Quiet Book! It will have a total of 10 pages and I will be posting each page separately in a series of 10 blog posts and then one final post to showcase the whole book and how to put it together. They will all be posted in time for Earth Day on April 22nd!

You can also use these “pages” as granny squares and create a blanket instead! Finished size of the pages/squares are approx 9×9.

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Taupe Brown, Lush Green, and Mushroom (light brown) for the page. Shop all the colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle

First you will want to crochet the book page.

Chain 31, SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, chain 1, turn (30 SC)

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Note: when you begin to make the tree branches (row 19), you will see that you get into a rhythm of making chains and slip stitch down those chains and then making other chains that jaunt out from the original chain and slip stitching down those, etc. It can be totally random!! You don’t have to follow my exact pattern!
