My Happily Hooked Maple Leaf

Autumn is not really my favourite season, it's the beginning of a kind of hibernation for me. I don't like cold periods of the year and it also when the nature starts to die. That's why I'm feeling a little bit sad at this moment. But it will reborn in spring and every season has its beauty, especially autumn which is particularly colourful and picturesque. And this autumn brings me joyful mood because one of my newest crochet designs has just been published in the September Issue (#42) of the Happily Hooked Magazine

What can symbolize autumn better than a falling leaf? And as the theme of this issue is Colors of Autumn, I created a Maple Leaf and shared all the stages of its making of in the magazine.

Following my tutorial you can create your own maple leaf and even any other leaf you like or find outside or in your garden, immortalize the beauty of this season, its colours. You can choose any yarn or thread of the desired colours. Mine was made with simple Zeeman cotton and polyester Sissy Sport threads of the terracotta shades.

The real item is on sale in my Etsy shop and the pattern can be found in Happily Hooked Magazine #42 following the link given above.
I hope you'll enjoy crocheting this leaf. You'll also find many other beautiful makes and interesting articles in this issue.

Enjoy the process of creation and the beauty of this autumn!
