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!
