Hey Folks!

Two of my favorite things about Fall is the leaves changing color and good crochet weather. (Seasoned crocheters (pun intended) know what I mean by good crochet weather.) I decided to combine these two things with this crochet pattern!

Below are step by step pictures to help if you get stuck. I am a left handed crocheter, so if the pictures look jacked up to you, that’s probably why. These directions will work whether you are left or right handed.
