🍂 How to Crochet the 3D Leaf Stitch

  4. Skip 3 stitches, then single crochet in next 3.
  5. Repeat leaf cluster across row.
  6. Continue rows alternating standard DC rows with leaf stitch rows.

🧶 Hat Construction

  1. Band (Optional): Begin with a ribbed band using back loop half double crochet (HDC) rows. Join to form a ring.
  2. Body: Work 3D Leaf Stitch pattern in the round. Join each round with a slip stitch.
  3. Shaping the Crown: After desired height, begin decreasing by skipping stitches between leaves or reducing cluster size.
  4. Closing the Top: Thread yarn through the final stitches and pull to close the top neatly. Secure and weave in ends.

🌿 Styling Ideas

  • Add a faux fur pom-pom on top.
  • Use solid color yarn to highlight stitch texture.
