How to crochet a Maple Leaf



Welcome to my crochet blog! As September arrives, the weather changes and nature fills with the vibrant colors of autumn 🍂 — golden yellow, burnt orange, and deep red leaves everywhere. One of the most iconic signs of fall is the maple leaf, so why not bring that cozy vibe indoors with this crochet maple leaf pattern?

This project is quick, easy, and beginner-friendly. Perfect for autumn home décor, table settings, garlands, or even appliqués for your sweaters and blankets.

🧶 Materials Needed:

You’ll only need basic crochet stitches to make this maple leaf.

  • sl = slip stitch

  • sc = single crochet

  • hdc = half double crochet

  • dc = double crochet

  • trb = treble crochet (triple crochet)

  • ch = chain

✨ Pattern Instructions:

Round 1:

  • Make a magic circle.

  • Ch 2, work 10 dc into the ring.

  • Join with sl st on top of the first dc.

Round 2 – Forming the Petals

Petal 1:

  • Sl st into next dc.

  • Ch 5 → sc in next ch, hdc in next, dc in next, hdc in next.

  • Sl st into next dc.

Petal 2:

  • Sl st into next dc.

  • Ch 7 → sc in next ch, hdc in next, dc in next, trb in next, dc in next, hdc in next.

  • Sl st into next dc.

Petal 3:

  • Ch 10.

  • Work 1 sl st in each ch.

  • Join to base with a sl st.

🌟 Final Touch

And that’s it! You now have a beautiful crochet maple leaf 🍁. Block your leaf if you’d like it to lay flat, or leave it as is for a more natural, curly leaf look.

This fall crochet pattern works great as:

  • Autumn bunting / garland

  • Appliqué for hats, scarves, and sweaters

  • Coasters or table decorations

  • Scrap-yarn project for seasonal gifts
