Acorns and oak leaves might be my favourite thing about autumn, and this free crochet oak leaf pattern captures exactly why, whether you’re scattering them on a table, stringing them on a garland, or adding them to a picture.
This crochet oak leaf is one of the appliqué motifs in my Autumn Landscapes Crochet Picture Set, but it’s just as at home stitched onto a jumper, scattered across a blanket, or used in a design entirely your own. Find the full crochet pattern and video below.
