This free maple leaf crochet pattern works up quickly. Make them in bright reds, yellows, and oranges to brighten up your fall decor.
Nothing says fall more than the deep oranges, fiery reds, and rustic browns of changing leaves. Make this beautiful crochet Maple Leaf and bring the beauty of fall indoors – no raking required!
You can scatter them to accent your Thanksgiving table, string several together to make a festive garland, or attach a single leaf as decoration on a hostess gift. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination!
If you’re an advanced beginner and want to level up your shaping skills on a small project, I recommend you give this maple leaf pattern a try! It’s also great for an experienced crocheter who wants a bit of a challenge but is short on time. You can quickly whip one of these up when you have a few free minutes.

The pattern was a Design CAL
Recently I created a new type of crochet-a-longs and they are called Design CALs. They are hosted as part of my “The Crochet Club” membership and can only be accessed as a member.
These Design CALs are super special because members have input on how the pattern turns out. We start the pattern with an idea and every week, for 4 weeks, the pattern is extended until it’s done. All through video tutorials, one each week. But some ideas are also just finished in one week with one video, like the Maple Leaf
There is a new Design CAL each month now. Currently, we’re working on one small crochet pattern per week. In August and September 2023, we focus on Fall and Halloween Decor.
This Maple Leaf crochet pattern was designed in August 2023 in The Crochet Club. It was a highly requested pattern and made a fun project.
You’ll be able to find the Maple Leaf video tutorial inside The Crochet Club as it is exclusive to the membership. The pattern is now accessible also on my website for you with ads, or Ravelry, and Etsy as a pdf without ads.

This gorgeous pattern is also available as an ad-free, printer-friendly pdf pattern that can be purchased at the links below for only a small cost.
