Materials Needed:

- Yarn of choice
Step by step Pattern (Summary)
Start with the Stem:
- Chain 10.
First Leaf:
- Chain 5.
- In the fourth chain from the hook, make 2 treble crochets.
- Yarn over twice, insert the hook into the fourth chain, and pull up a loop (pull through two loops) three times. Repeat for the second treble crochet in the same stitch.
- Chain 3, then create a Picot by making a slip stitch into the base of chain 3.
- Make one more treble crochet using the same stitch as the treble crochets.

- Make a slip stitch in the next stitch.
Stem for Next Leaf:

Additional Leaves:
- Repeat the process for the first leaf: chain 5, then 2 treble crochets in the fourth chain from the hook, followed by a picot, another treble crochet, chain 3, and a slip stitch in the same stitch.
- Continue making leaves to the desired length, each separated by a chain of 10 for the stem.
Opposite Side Leaves:
- After making four leaves, proceed to make leaves on the opposite side.
- Make one slip stitch in each of the next 5 stitches until you reach the space between the first two leaves.
- Create a leaf in this space as before: chain 5, two treble crochets in the fourth chain from the hook, chain 3 picot, one more treble in the same stitch, chain 3, and a slip stitch in the same stitch.
Finishing:
- Continue with one slip stitch into each of the next six stitches.
