How to Crochet a Maple Leaf:
Step 1
Work on your maple leaf first, start by chaining 2, then working in continuous rounds, make 6 single crochet in 2 chains from the hook. For round 2, make 2 half double crochet in the 1st stitch, then 2 half double crochet in each stitch around.
Step 2
For round 3, make 2 double crochet in the 1st stitch, then 2 double crochet in each stitch around, and join it with slip stitch to the top of the 1st double crochet. For round 4, skip the 1st stitch, then 7 double crochet in the next, skip the next stitch, and slip stitch in the next.
Step 3
Skip the next stitch, then repeat the process 3 more times. Make 7 double crochet in the next stitch, then skip the next stitch, and slip stitch the next 3 stitches. Proceed to crochet the maple leaf stem, then finish the leaf, and turn it into a coaster. Watch the video for the full tutorial.
