Monstera leaf square crochet pattern information

Here’s a quick overview of the materials, sizing, gauge, and pattern notes before you begin.

Skill level

Beginner. This easy crochet pattern uses only basic crochet stitches.

Materials needed

  • Crochet hook:  H-8 5 mm hook size
  • Yarn: worsted weight yarn in white and green
  • Copy of the leaf graph
  • Yarn needle for weaving the yarn tails in

Finished measurements

4″ wide by 4.5″ tall (10 cm by 11 cm)

Crochet abbreviations

  • sc = single crochet
  • ch/chs = chain/chains
  • st/sts = stitch/stitches
  • sl st = slip stitch

Pattern notes

  • The leaf granny square is made in rows of single crochet stitches.
  • Make color changes following the graph or the written instructions.
  • Each square on the graph represents a single crochet stitch.
  • Read the graph from right to left ← on odd-numbered rows, and left to right → on even-numbered rows.
  • ← you are working on the “right side”
  • → you are working on the “wrong side”
  • You can carry the unused yarn color(s) or cut and rejoin as needed.

Color changes

  • To change colors, work the last yarn over of a stitch with the new color. This sets up your yarn for the next stitch in the new color.
  • Carry unused colors across the row by laying them over the stitches you’re working into, so you can pick them up as needed. This is known as tapestry crochet!
