Crochet small leaf pattern:
Chain 10. 2 DC CL in 6th 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.
Cut the yarn and weave in all ends.
