Crochet Maple Leaf – Free Pattern

As the seasons start to change for many with the arrival of Autumn, this month I am sharing with you my Free Crochet Maple Leaf pattern. Autumn is my favorite season, as I love to see the leaves turn golden yellow, rusty orange and deep red. To celebrate this wonderful array of seasonal colour, I have created a crochet maple leaf so you can make forever crochet leaf to add to you home in any colour of your choice.

For this pattern you can use any yarn size of your choice with the matching crochet hook. Make your crochet maple leaf into a garland or make a Autumnal wreath for your door or simply use your crochet leaves as seasonal coasters.

  1. I so enjoy your free patterns and showed this maple leaf pattern to my special needs students. One of my special boys was so excited for this pattern. He absolutely loves the colors and the leaves pattern. I want to stitch these for my students. I will use soft yarn so that they can hold them and calm themselves with the soft yarn and colorful leaves.
    Thank you, your pattern has made my autistic students hopeful for fall leaves since we do not see the beautiful colors in Phoenix AZ,.

    1. Dear April,
      Thank you so much for the wonderful kind message. I am so glad you like the pattern and it can help your students. I love how a simple little pattern can reach beyond what you expect. If you have any pattern suggestions that you think would help your students please let me know. Love, Roseanna.

  2. Thank you for you wonderful pattern, I am a novice at crochet and found the stitch notes & excellent instruction very helpful . I’ve thoroughly enjoyed making the maple leaves – and have learned a lot on the way .

    you’re so good at writing patterns. With most free patterns I find online, at some point I get to “WHAT THE F DO YOU MEAN 2ND, THERE’S NO 2ND!!” kind of thing
    you made it so clear and easy to follow. I never had to rip a thing. I absolutely love drawn symbols on photos
    thank you, keep doing what you’re doing because you’re great ♥️
