Crochet leaves cord pattern:

Chain 10. 2 DC CL in 6^th chain from hook, ch2. Now work underneath the nearest unfinished DC, 6DC CL. When you have 2 loops on your hook, draw it out and turn the leaf, insert the hook again holding working yarn in back. Find the second unfinished dc from the 2 dc cl and work underneath again, 6DC CL. When you have 3 loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through all 3. Ch 3, turn the leaf on the wrong side and make a sl st in ch2-space that we did earlier.

**Chain 5, on the wrong side, 2DC CL in ch5-space, ch2. Now work underneath the nearest unfinished DC, 6DC CL. When you have 2 loops on your hook, draw it out and turn the leaf, insert the hook again holding working yarn in back. Find the second unfinished dc from the 2 dc cl and work underneath again, 6DC CL. When you have 3 loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through all 3. Ch 3, turn the leaf on the wrong side and make a sl st in ch2-space that we did earlier. Repeat from ** until crochet cord reaches desired length.

Cut the yarn and weave in all ends.
