- Crochet the Leaf Shape:
- Work symmetrical stitches (single crochet, half-double crochet, and double crochet) into both sides of the leaf foundation chain.
- Repeat the process to make two leaves connected seamlessly.
- Secure the Leaves:
- Stitch the tails securely into the back of each leaf using a needle.
- Finalize the Leaves:
- Trim excess yarn, ensuring neat edges.
Assembly
