Tools and materials Time: 1 hour Difficulty: 6/10

• Crochet hook 2.5 mm
• Yarn of appropriate thickness

In this lesson I will give step-by-step instructions in the art of crocheting clover and chestnut leaves. So , crochet leaves. The diagram and description are quite detailed and very clear.

Step-by-step description with diagram

Clover Leaf

This scheme is very simple, even novice needlewomen can probably figure it out.

• We knit a chain of 4 air. loops Next we tie this chain in a circle: 1 air. lifting loop, 1 tbsp. single crochet in the second loop of the chain (see diagram), 1 tbsp. with a double crochet in the third loop, in the 4th loop of the chain we knit 10 tbsp. with 2 double crochets, 1 tbsp. double crochet in 3 loops and 1 tbsp. Single crochet in 2nd loop.
• Knit 2 more leaves using the same pattern.
• When all 3 leaves are ready, knit a chain of 8 chain stitches. loops, 1 tbsp. without crochet for lifting, 7 tbsp. Single crochet in each loop of the chain. When knitting the last loop of the chain, connect the finished leaves together into one branch.

Any leaves knitted from synthetic yarn or mercerized cotton look incomparable and embossed.

Our clover leaf is ready!

Chestnut leaf

This eye-catching motif, made from thicker yarn, can be used as a placemat or oven mitt in the kitchen. If you knit it from a thin material, it will become an integral element of a tablecloth, shawl or bedspread.

If, when crocheting a leaf, you hook both arms of the loop, the motif will turn out flatter. If you knit it by 1 arc, the leaf will be more prominent.

Knit a chain of 10 air. loops and close into a ring.

• 1st row: knit 2 tbsp in each loop. with 2 double crochets, and between the columns 3 air. loops (see diagram). We replace the first column with 4 air. lifting loops.
• 2nd row: 3 air. lifting loops, 2 tbsp. double crochet in the first loop of a chain of 3 loops, 3 tbsp. with a double crochet in the 3rd loop of the chain, 3 air. loops, 3 tbsp. double crochet in the first stitch of the next chain of 3 stitches, 3 tbsp. double crochet in 3 loops, 3 air. loops. We knit 10 fragments in this way.
• 3rd row: 3 air. lifting loops, 3 tbsp. with a double crochet in a chain of 3 chains. loops, 3 air. loops, 4 tbsp. double crochet in the same chain of 3 chains. loops, 4 tbsp. with a double crochet in the next chain of 3 chains. loops, 3 air. loops, 4 tbsp. with a double crochet in the same chain. Knit only 9 motifs in this way, do not knit the 10th. Turn the work to the wrong side.
• 4th row: 3 air. lifting loops, 4 tbsp. with a double crochet in a chain of 3 chains. loops, 3 air. loops, 3 tbsp. double crochet in the same chain, 5 tbsp. with a double crochet in the next chain of 3 chains. loops, 3 air. loops. Knit all 9 fragments.
• 5 row: 1 air. lifting loop, tie 11 tbsp above the first fragment. single crochet (over the loops knitted in the first fragment of the previous row), 3 air. lifting loops, 5 tbsp. double crochet, 3 air. loops, 6 tbsp. double crochet In the same row you need to knit only 7 motifs in this way.
• 6th row: 3 air. lifting loops, knit 7 fragments as follows - 7 tbsp. double crochet, 3 air. loops, 7 tbsp. double crochet Knit the last 2 stitches together with one top.
• 7th row: 1 air. lifting loop, then we knit one fragment of the previous row with single crochets, 3 air. lifting loops, knit the remaining 5 stitches like this - 8 tbsp. double crochet, 3 air. loops, 8 tbsp. double crochet We knit the last 2 double crochets together with one top.
• Row 8: knit 5 fragments – 9 tbsp. double crochet, 3 air. loops, 9 tbsp. double crochet At the beginning of the row, replace the column with three air stitches. lifting loops.
• 9 row: 1 air. lifting loop, tie the first fragment with 20 st. without crochet, 3 air. lifting loops, then we knit only 3 fragments - 10 tbsp. double crochet, 3 air. loops, 10 tbsp. double crochet We knit the last 2 columns with one vertex.
• 10 row: 3 air. lifting loops, knit 3 fragments - 11 tbsp. double crochet, 3 air. loops, 11 tbsp. double crochet We replace the first column with lifting loops.
• 11th row: 1 air. lifting loop, we tie the entire first fragment with 24 tbsp. without crochet, 3 air. lifting loops, knit the remaining 1 fragment - 12 tbsp. double crochet, 3 air. loops, 13 tbsp. double crochet We knit the last two columns with one vertex.
• 12 row: 3 air. lifting loops, 13 tbsp. double crochet, 3 air. loops, 14 tbsp. double crochet We knit 1 fragment. We knit the last 2 stitches together again.

Maple leaves knitted in this way according to our pattern can be tied along the edge with a row of double crochets with threads of a different color. This will make the product more vibrant and exclusive.

In this lesson, I tried to give you step-by-step instructions for crocheting chestnut and clover leaves, as well as a diagram and description, and the final result will depend on your imagination. Good luck in job!

Crocheting leaves is as easy as crocheting the flower itself - follow the crochet pattern and description. Having grasped the essence of the work, in the future you will be able to knit simply from a photograph of the model you like.

We are pleased with the wide variety of leaf shapes - just like in nature. You can come up with some options for your own work. You can see the ideas.

Typically, yarn is taken of the same thickness as for the main element. Although the texture of the thread may be different - smoother and shiny or, conversely, fluffy. When decorating clothes, it is better to use the same types of yarn. Although, it all depends on the specific sample and your creative approach to work.

Crochet oval leaves

The easiest to work with and the most common type of leaf is oval.

First, the central row is knitted - a chain of air loops, preferably an odd number. Its length is equal to the size of the finished element. This will be the “vein” of the leaf; for it you can take yarn of a different shade, darker.

The second and third loops are connecting posts. To make the sheet take on an oval shape, we will increase the number of yarn overs towards the center of the sheet and decrease towards the edges.

For example, if the number of air loops = 13, then the fourth loop is a single crochet, the fifth and sixth are double crochets, the seventh is double crochet, and the eighth is triple crochet.

At the end, make a connecting stitch and knit the opposite side of the leaf

Upon completion of the element, you can additionally highlight the central “vein” (if knitted with thin threads). To do this, knit simple connecting posts along it, picking up the lower loops

You can knit a wider sheet on this basis by tying the entire element with a row of more columns

Knitting a clover leaf (shamrock)

The order of crocheting a clover leaf: 2 petals separately, the third petal and stem, joining the first two petals

First you need to knit a chain of 5 air loops. Having skipped the last 2 loops, we knit 1 single crochet into the third loop from the edge. Then in the second loop from the edge - 1 double crochet. And in the last loop you need to knit 10 double crochets at once.

Next, we return to the second loop and knit 1 double crochet behind the other wall, and 1 single crochet into the third. At the end, connect the stitches into the next air loop and secure the thread. This turned out to be 1 clover petal.

Now we knit 2 more of the same elements, but in the last one we do not fasten the thread and we knit the stem of the leaf. We make 9 air loops, skip the last loop and knit connecting stitches along the entire length of the stem chain. Then attach the first loops of each petal with connecting posts.

These were the 2 simplest elements of the “Leaf”. Check out other options

Various options for knitting leaves

A wonderful dress crocheted from chestnut leaves and other Irish lace motifs.

SIZE 44-46

You will need: 16 balls of yellow Iris yarn, 6 - ocher, 3 - light yellow, 2 - lemon, 10 skeins of melange yarn, 1 skein of decorative yarn; template for knitting long loops; hook No. 1,1.

The neckline is emphasized by an openwork strip of ribbon lace according to pattern D. A garland of stylized flowers falls from the bodice to the skirt (pattern E).

Circles-suns are made on a fork. If you do not know this technique, crochet them according to pattern I:

This variety is complemented by twigs according to pattern G and small leaves according to pattern 3. Tie each element in one copy, steam it, let it dry and make mock-ups out of paper. On thick fabric, draw a life-size pattern according to Fig. 9 or custom sizes. Place a composition of layouts on it, focusing on the photo of the model or your own idea of ​​it. Based on the finished composition, decide on the quantity of each element. Tie in the required amount of each element. Tie a couple of leaves with yarn with metanite or with a change in color, this will emphasize their contours. Steam, dry and baste or pin to the pattern, wrong side up. Sew the elements together so that the joints are not visible from the front side. Steam and dry again. Connect the shoulder and side lines of the front and back patterns, sew the parts. Remove the basting.

Knitted leaves can be used to decorate many products: clothes, hats, handbags. They can be used to decorate the interior - in the form of knitted plants in pots or in wall panels. You can crochet or knit leaves in different ways; this article discusses several typical motifs.

Clover Leaf

We start with a chain of 4 VPs. Next, knit 1 VP rise, 1 single crochet, 1 double crochet, in the last stitch of the chain knit 10 double crochets. The result is a petal. Knit two more petals in the same way. Then, without breaking the thread, knit a chain of 8 VPs. Next, the scheme is as follows: 1 air. p. lifting, 7 columns b/n, last. We attach the chains to the connection. stem all three parts of the leaf.

Oval leaf

Knit the original chain of 13 VPs. Further knitting pattern: 1 VP rise, 7 RLS. The remaining 6 VPs remain unknitted. From the last sc we knit a chain of 6 ch. In 1 point of the lower river. connect 3 VP lifts plus 2 dc, 2 dc, 3 dc with one vertex, 1 dc2n in the 7th dc, 3 dc with one vertex, 2 dc, 3 dc with one base.

In one stitch we knit 3 VP rises plus 2 StlbSN, 2 StlbSN, 3 StlbSN with one vertex, 1 concave StlbS2N, 3 StlbSN with one vertex, 2 StlbSN, 3 StlbSN with one base.

We knit with a common top: 3 VP rise, 1 StlbSN, 1 convex stitch with 2 nak., 2 StlbSN.

Knitting a voluminous leaf: video master class

Technique for making convex and concave relief columns

Convex

We make the required number of yarn overs, then insert the hook not into the loop, but from right to left into the post of the lower row. so that the pillar of the lower river. found himself in front of the hook, pull out 1p. and then we knit like a regular StlbSN.

Concave

Knit in the same way, but the stitch of the lower r. should be behind the hook.

Chestnut leaf

We start with the middle pattern, then knit the leaf elements one by one. The description describes the pattern of the smallest element. Knit the rest in the same way, adjusting the length by the number of stitches in the chain.

The first stage of knitting is to set a VP chain for the tail and middle. Next, the middle is knitted in circular rows.

Description

Middle

We collect a chain of 28 VPs. We close a chain of 4 VPs into a ring. Further knitting of the pattern:

• 1st row: 1 VP, 7 RLS, 1 VP. We finish the series SS;
• 2p.: 1 VP lifting, 13 RLS, 1 VP, SS in the lifting loop;
• 3p.: 1 VP, 20СБН, 1 VP;
• 4p.: 1 VP, 24 RLS, 1 VP;
• 5p.: 1 VP, 32 RLS, 1 VP.

Tail

We knit the remaining VPs with two rows. stlb b/n, each attaching to the middle of the SS.

The smallest – bottom right – element of the leaflet

We make a chain of 13 VP, knit RLS, attach the connection. dc in 3 stitches in the middle from 1p. ponytail We knit a SS in the next one. p. middle instead of 1 VP rise, then - in a chain of VP - 2 stb without / n, 2 half-column. s/n, 2 StSN, 2 columns. with 2n., 2 columns. from 3n., 2nd column from 4n., in the outermost VP and RLS we knit 15 StS4N.

Knit the second half of the element in a mirror manner. We attach the last column b/n to the middle.
We skip 1 sc, 3 sc, *pico, 2 sc* - between *-* we repeat 10 times, 8 sc.

Tie the remaining elements of the chestnut leaf using the same principle.

Maple Leaf

Knit a chain of 10 VPs and close them into a ring. Further knitting of the pattern:

• 1st row: in each stitch, knit a fragment, replacing the first stitch with 2n at the beginning. for 4 VP lift;
• 2p.: in each of the fragments of the previous one. R. tie, replacing the first StS3N with 3 VP lifts at the beginning. Total – 10 fragments.
• starting from 3rd p.m. the work is divided. Knit in 9 fragments, at the beginning replacing 1 DC with 3 VP lifts. We complete the r. 1 double crochet. We unfold the work;
• 4p.: 3VP lifting, knit into each of 9 fragments;
• 5 rubles: 1 air. p. lifting, 11 stbn, in each of the remaining 7 fragments, knit, replacing the first stsn with 3 VP lifting at the beginning;
• 6p.: 3 VP lifting, knit 7 fragments. Complete r. 2 dc, knitted with a common top;
• 7p.: 1 VP lifting, sc in all points of one fragment before. r., 3 air. p. under., tie 5 fragments Complete p. 2 dc, knitted with a common top;
• 8p.: 5 fragments, replacing the first StSN at the beginning with 3 VP lifts;

Knitted oak leaf

In the description, the leaf is knitted from three colors of yarn - it is autumn. If you wish, you can turn it into a spring one by knitting it entirely from green yarn.

We knit a cord 2.5 cm long using 3-point knitting needles. Further knitting is carried out on the same loops:

• 1st row: cast on with knitting needles 5 stitches. cord set, 7l., 1i. We only have 8 p.;
• 2 rub. (front side): cast on with knitting needles 5p., 6p., remove 1p. purl, 6l. We have 13p.

In all the following persons. R. The central loop should be removed as a purl stitch. We continue with knitting needles:

• 3rd: persons;
• 4p.: 6p., remove with knitting needles 1p., 6p.;
• 5r.: like 3r.;
• 6r.: like 4r.;
• 7th: closed 2p., 11l. Total work 11p.
• 8r.: closed 2p., 4l., remove 1p., 4l. Total 9p.

Next 2p. we knit with knitting needles, changing the number of loops. Let's continue:

• 11p.: cast on with knitting needles 2p., 9l. Total 11p.;
• 12p.: cast on with knitting needles 2p., 6l., remove 1p., 6l. We have 13p.

Next 2p. we knit with knitting needles without changing the number of stitches. In the second of these rows we move to the next color of yarn. We continue with knitting needles:

• 15r.: close 3p., 10l. Only 10 p.;
• 16r.: closed 3p., 3l., remove 1p., 3l. 7p left.
• 19 rubles: dial 2p., 9l. Total 9 p.;
• 20r.: dial 2p., 5l., remove 1p., 5l. Total 11p.

Next 2p. we knit with knitting needles without changing the number of loops. In the second of these rows we move to the next color of yarn. We continue with knitting needles:

• 23r.: closed 3p., 8l. Total 8 p.;
• 24 hours: closed 3p., 2l., remove 1p., 2l. Total 5p.
• Next 2p. we knit with knitting needles without changing the number of loops. Then:
• 27r.: x3, remove 1p., 2p. in 1l. Total 3p.

Close the remaining loops.

palmate leaf

First sheet

• 1st: 1 tbsp. b/n in 2p., 1p/s with nak., 1 stsn, x3, 1 stsn, 1 p/s with nak., 1 stb b/n, ss, turn;
• 2p.: 1 stb/n in each stb of the row, x11.

Without breaking the thread, we knit the 2nd sheet and all subsequent ones. The algorithm is the same, we look at the number of loops in the original chain from the image of the diagram.

Center

• 1 tbsp in the last p. T. o. in it, a total of two stitches are knitted, x4, 16 VP, 1 st.b/n. in the 2nd stitch from the hook, x14 times, SS in the 1st stitch in the middle.

Diamond-shaped leaf

Decorative leaf

Melange yarn is used for knitting. We start with 17 VP. Further:

• 1st row: 1 column without/n. in 3 sts from the hook, 1 stb without/n. in each point of the row, - to the outermost point, turn the work. On the second side of the original chain we knit 1 stitch without a thread, turn the knitting.

Track. R.: 4 VP, 1 RLS for the back wall in each stitch to the arch, in the arch, 1 RLS for the back wall in each stitch to the last 2 stitches, turn knitting.

Repeat the last row 7 times. Then we knit a SS in the center of the fabric to the arch 1p. We finish knitting.

And now we offer you several options for leaf patterns for interior compositions. These beautiful leaves are knitted according to the proposed patterns, the length is determined by the number of VPs in the original chain.
