The 20 Loveliest Crochet Leaf Patterns

The 20 Loveliest Crochet Leaf Patterns

by Adriana Maronese

Crochet

Lately, I have found myself with enough time and space to try a new hobby: GARDENING. I know there is a lot of noise on the internet about how challenging this can be, but I decided to just go for it. I watched some Youtube tutorials, bought some plants, and now here I am, watering my new (still alive) friends, and staring at them more than I have previously expected. It was the best decision!

Taking care of my plants turned out to be very relaxing and somehow meditative. As a side effect, I also started to pay more attention to nature, which made me notice things that I haven't before. When I walk through the streets I now see trees and flowers in a different way, I mean, have you seen all of those shapes, textures, and colors? It just makes me feel so curious and inspired, and therefore, this post.

Crochet Succulent

Succulents are the easiest plants to take care of. They need minimal water and a lot of sun, that's it! They are so easy because they use their thickened, fleshy, and engorged leaves to retain all of the water they need. How convenient!

String of Pearls

These succulents are so strange and exciting, that if you don't have them in your house, I would recommend making this pattern. It really captures the essence of the plant and the odd shape of its leaves.

Barrel Cactus

by Cloud9Knots

Did you know that the spines on the cactus used to be leaves? They evolved into tiny and sharp parts to protect the plant from herbivores and also help with the retention of water. Another example of how incredible nature can be.
