Let's learn how to crochet a big leaf for today's project. This is a Vermilion Banana Leaf with some casual edges that make it look more real.

You can use this crochet leaf as a decoration or as a part of the crochet flower bouquet. We love to match it with sunflower bouquet, or some green crochet flower bouquets with wild flowers.

Why We Love This Big Leaf

Our Crocheted Large Leaf is a beautiful and one-of-a-kind project that will make any home look more artistic.

There are also a few sections where you can change colors and options for weaving in ends. A classic vermilion color is the best choice for this project, but there are also a lot of other options. Use orange, coral, yellow, or even brown as accent colors to make the pattern feel warmer. Classic colors like gray, beige, and cream could be used to make the look softer.

Materials

• Yarn: two colors of yarn, green and white.

• Hook: The hook is 2.5 mm long.

• The flower rod is 16 inches long and 0.08 inches in diameter (40 cm x 2 mm).

• Iron Wire has a diameter of 0.02 inches (0.4 mm).

• Marker for stitches

• Cutting tools

• Hot melt glue

  Check

  There is no clear gauge for the pattern in question. The size of your Vermilion Banana Leaf will depend on the type and brand of yarn you used, the type and size of the hook you used, and how tight you made it. To make sure the finished project is the right size, you should measure the gauge as you crochet.

  Stitches and Shortcuts
  ch– chain stitch sc– single crochet hdc– half double crochet dc– double crochet tr– treble crochet ss– slip stitch sp– spike stitch (putting the hook into a lower row to make a longer stitch)
  Unique Stitches
  hdc spike stitch: To do the hdc spike stitch, put your hook into the st from the previous row, just like you would for a hdc. After that, wrap your yarn around the hook twice and use the hook to pull through all the loops. This makes a tall stitch that looks like a spike.
  3 sc in same st: When you do three single crochets in the same stitch, you make a "cluster." You can use this stitch to make a piece look textured or to make an edge or a decorative shape.
  This pattern uses US crochet terms.
  One Step at a Time Pattern with Big Leaves

  Note: Use a stitch marker on the first stitch of each treble crochet stitch.

  Start with the foundation chain and use the green yarn: ch50
  Row 1: From the second stitch of the hook, do the next stitches: 3 sc, 3 hdc, 3 dc, (Use a stitch marker) 30 tr, 3 dc, 3 hdc, 3 sc, and 3 sc in the last stitch. (Working on the other side of the base chain now) 3 sc, 3 hdc, 3 dc, 30 tr, 3 dc, 3 hdc, 3 sc, and 1 ss.

• Row 2: Ch 1, add wire, 6 sc, 6 hdc, 3 dc, (Use stitch marker) 20 tr, 3 dc, 6 hdc, 5 sc, 3 sc in the last stitch. (Now working on the other side of the base chain) 5 sc, 6 hdc, 3 dc, 20 tr, 3 dc, 6 hdc, 6 sc, and 1 ss. Cut the yarn and leave a long tail.

• Row 3: Use the white yarn, join the yarn in the 1st stitch, ch1, sc 10, sc 10, and 1 hdc spike stitch in the same stitch. Repeat this in each stitch until the end, then 1 ss to finish. Cut the yarn and weave it until the end.

How to Assemble this Big Leaf with Long Stem

• Step 1: Get the flower and weave it tightly with the yarn until in the middle of the flower rod.

• Step 2: Then place the flower rod at the back of the leaf.
• Step 3: Use hot melt adhesive, and stick the flower rod to the leaf. Then weave the rest until the end and secure with hot melt adhesive.
