I used the Falling Leaves Crochet Stitch for my latest design, the Falling Leaves Cowl which is a trendy fringed & buttoned cowl with simple construction. So warm & cozy!
The Falling Leaves Stitch has an absolutely beautiful and unique texture – perfect for so many different projects! This one may become one of your new favorites!
The stitch is created with a leaf stitch – a unique puff stitch worked around a stitch from two rows below.
I have made a complete video tutorial for this stitch which you can find at the bottom of this post. If you are unable to view the video on the blog you can also find it on my YouTube channel. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel so you never miss a video!
