In this tutorial I am going to show you how to make a leaf of different tall stitches.
Make a slipknot.
then make 1 chain stitch to start the work
and chain 9 more
then yarn over the hook 7 times
insert the hook through the first chain stitch (the tenth chain stitch away from the hook)
pull up a loop through
you have 9 loops on the hook
yarn over and pull through 2 loops on the hook 8 times
The Sextuple Treble Stitch is ready.
chain 3
and again yarn over the hook 7 times
I am holding the loops on the hook with my finger.
now work the stitch through the second pair of strands on the first post counting from the bottom
one loop is the loop that was on the hook
and another one is a working loop
insert the hook, pull up a loop through
yarn over and pull through 2 loops on the hook 8 times to complete the stitch (sextuple treble crochet stitch).
again do the same
chain 3
now yarn over the hook 6 times (for a quintuple treble stitch)
insert the hook under the second 2 strands of the second post
pull up a loop through
yarn over and pull through 2 loops on the hook 7 times
continue chain 3
yarn over the hook 4 times (for a triple treble stitch)
insert the hook under the second 2 strands of the third post
pull up a loop through
yarn over the hook and pull through 2 loops on the hook 5 times
chain 3
and double treble crochet under the first 2 strands of the previous fourth post (yarn over hook 3 times for double treble stitch)
again chain 3
and double treble crochet under the first 2 strands of the fifth (previous) post
if you straight up the work you will see that a half of the leaf is ready
let`s continue and do the other half
the leaf should be symmetrical
so we`re going to work a little different
chain 3
treble crochet in the same first 2 strands of the fifth post (yarn over the hook 2 times for a treble stitch)
that is the same spot that we`ve made the last double treble crochet stitch through
then chain 3 again
and double treble crochet under the first 2 strands of the fourth post (yarn over hook 3 time for double treble stitch)
that is the same spot that our fifth post is coming out of
continue chain 3
yarn over the hook 4 times (for a triple treble) and work the stitch under the second 2 strands of the third post
the fourth post is coming out of the same spot
continue chain 3
yarn over the hook 5 times (for a quadruple treble)
and work the stitch under the second 2 strands of the second post
that is the same spot that the third post was made through
chain 3
yarn over the hook 5 times (for a quadruple treble)
and work the stitch under the second 2 strands of the first post
under the same strands that we`ve made the second post in
Now chain 9
and make a slip stitch through the first chain stitch of our foundation chain.
through this first chain stitch we`ve also made our first post
Now you can see we`ve got the contour of our leaf
I am going make a single crochet trim all around to make the leaf stronger
to start chain 1 to bring up the yarn
single crochet 10 into the chain space of 9
single crochet through the next stitch
then single crochet 3 into the chain space of 3
and again single crochet through the next stitch
continue making a single crochet trim around the leaf
repeat: single crochet 3 into the chain space, single crochet through next stitch.
the half of the leaf is ready
you can see the difference
continue the same working on the other side
I `ve reached the bottom of the leaf
continue with 10 single crochet stitches into the chain space of 9
finish the round with a slip stitch through the first chain stitch
Now I am going to start the next round of trimming
make 1 chain stitch up
single crochet 6 in a row
now single crochet 2 through in each of next 2 stitches
continue single crochet in a row till the top of the leaf (do not skip any stitches)
Here is the top of the leaf
let`s single crochet till the top stitch which is above the top post (double treble)
and through this top stitch we need to make 2 single crochet stitches
then continue single crochet in a row around till the bottom part
Here is the bottom of our leaf
I`ve made a single crochet through the stitch that is opposite the last post (quadruple treble)
now single crochet 2 in a row
and make 2 single crochet stitches through in each of next 2 stitches
then single crochet 6 in a row
finish the round with a slip stitch through the first chain stitch on this round
Now you can see we`ve made 2 rounds of single crochet
I will continue and show you how to make the last round of reverse single crochet.
But this last round I will make through the stitches of the first round of single crochet.
in this case the trim will be more puffy.
Let`s start
chain 1
to make the reverse single crochet we need to work from the left to the right
so insert the hook in the next stitch from the right side that is on the first round
and work a single crochet stitch
continue reverse single crochet around
here are the stitches with 2 single stitches made through
we need to do the same I mean reverse single crochet 2 times through these 2 stitches
continue reverse single crochet in a row till the top of the leaf
and on the top do the same
through the top stitch reverse single crochet 2 times
To finish the round of reverse single crochet
I insert the hook through the 2 loops of the first reverse single crochet stitch on this round
insert the hook from the back side of the leaf
grab the working loop
and pull through
Now let`s make a leafstalk
chain 8
then chain 1 more
skip one stitch away from the hook
and single crochet 8 in a row (until you reach the body of the leaf)
then make a slip stitch through 2 strands of the next reverse single crochet
now chain 1
and reverse single crochet 8 in a row along the leafstalk.
Now the leaf is completely ready and you can cut the yarn
Here is the back side of the leaf
