I love lacy patterns! They have something so romantic in them. This lovely crochet leaf lace stitch pattern can be used for different projects:
- Make a beautiful crochet shawl
- Curtains
- Garment edging
For my project, I used 100% bamboo Fingering (#1) weight yarn with a 3 mm crochet hook, but you can use any yarn you want with a suitable hook.

Notes
- Stitch Multiple: (multiple of 32) + 23 + 2 (turning ch’s) = chain a multiple of 32, then add 23 ch, and another 2 for turning ch’s.
- Ch 1 and ch 2 at the beginning of the row don’t count as a stitch.
Crochet Leaf Lace Pattern
Chain (multiple of 32) + 23 + 2 (turning ch’s) = chain a multiple of 32, then add 23 ch, and another 2 for turning ch’s.
I highly recommend starting with a row of sc before the lace pattern, as shown in the photos. In that case, omit the 2 turning chains and start the first row of the lace with chaining 2.
Row 1 (RS): WV-Puff in 2nd ch from the hook, ch 3, sk next 3 ch, dc3tog in next 3 ch, ch 2, sk next 2 ch.
