Hello friends! As per usual, I bought this lovely yarn without a previous plan of what I would be doing with it, I just really loved the color combo, and I like challenging myself this way. So after a session of brain storming and researching I decided that a leafy pattern is the most suitable. All you need to focus on regarding this pattern is how to make the longer types of crochet stitches. Once you get the hang of that, you just keep on repeating the same two rows over and over. I think this color combo is lovely for this project, but you can absolutely choose any other color pallet you fancy and make a different leaf assortment.
I hope you all like it! Stay safe and Healthy.
