Round 5 Crocheted Leaf Help Photo How-To
This page continues my help photos for the crocheted Circle Center Leaf pattern (divided into several pages in the interest of faster loading of the pages). Below you will find my photos showing how to do the part of Round 5 that has the potential to possibly be confusing, if following the pattern directions, without help photos. These photos showing close looks at the steps should clear up any confusion, however, and hopefully even make it feel easy to do.
The first series of these photos are on the web page www.sandimarshall.com/help-photos-circle-ctr-leaf/, which contains photos showing parts of Rounds 1 – 4 of this pattern.
Round 5,
Help Photo 1:
In this photo, you can see what it means where the directions tell you to half fill a chain-10 space with 2 sc, 2 dc, and 3 tr, then chain 10.
This is at the top center of the leaf and you are preparing to make the extra point that is the highest point of the leaf (you can see this in the photo of the completed leaf at the top of this page, to get an idea what that highest point will look like when finished).
Help Photo 2: After making the chain-10, you looked back on the round to find the previous chain-3 space in that round to work into next. This second help photo shows a single crochet made in the chain-3 space of the leaf point that was made before the half-filled one. This forms the place in which to make the next part (which will be made by switching directions again and working back into the chain-10 space just formed).
Help Photo 3:
Here you can see the series of stitches made in that chain-10 space. The series of stitches are: 2 sc, 2 dc, 3 tr, ch 3, 3 tr, 2 dc, 2 sc (all made in that same chain-10 space).
After doing that series of stitches, your hook is back near the halfway point on the chain-10 loop that you were working into before (the one that is only half filled with stitches).
Help Photo 4, below: Next, you do a slip stitch in the last treble that was made in that half-filled chain space. The next part of the instructions is to chain 3. I’ve placed a circle on the photo below to show you where this chain-3 is.
Help Photo 5, below: Next, you will make a treble in that half-filled chain space. This photo shows that treble made.
Help Photo 6, below:
Now, you will make two more trebles in that same chain space then 2 double crochet and 2 single crochet in that same chain space.
That completes the part of Round 5 that I thought might possibly be confusing, if having just the pattern directions to go by. I hope these photos have made that part easy for you to understand and accomplish. For the remainder of the Round 5 directions, refer back to the main pattern page on http://www.sandimarshall.com/leaf-circle-center/ … the photos on this page are meant to accompany those pattern directions, to make this leaf applique easier for you to crochet.
Please honor the copyright of my photos and do not republish my photos (or my pattern help explanation text) elsewhere (on or off the Internet), even if they would be made available to others for free (which would still be a copyright infringement if done without my express written permission). This includes any electronic or print form of making my pattern help text or photos available to others, without my permission. Instead, you can help me to be able to continue to do this sort of crochet help on this site by giving the url of this photo page to others so that they may come to this site for themselves. Thank you so much! The url of this page is www.sandimarshall.com/round-5-leaf-help/ … it’s helpful to remember the “in a nutshell” rule of thumb to stay out of copyright trouble on the Internet: “if you didn’t create it yourself, you need permission to use it” (on another web site, blog, etc.). That applies to photos, patterns and any other works that you didn’t create yourself. In addition to the legal aspect, it also honors and rewards the person who did the work of the creating, a courtesy which the majority of people agree is simply the right thing to do.
