✨ Skill Level
Beginner to Intermediate — simple shapes, repetitive stitches, and light assembly.
📏 Finished Size
Approximately 10–12 inches (25–30 cm) tall including the double-strand hanging loop and bow.
🧶 Materials
Yarn (Worsted Weight, 100% cotton recommended for crisp shape):
• Light or sage green – approx. 60–80 g
• Christmas red – approx. 25–30 g
Tools & Notions:
• 3.0 mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Small amount of fiberfill (berries only)
• Stitch marker
• Optional: fabric stiffener or hot glue (for securing bow center)
🍃 Leaves (Make 22–26 – thick, oval, cupped)
The leaves in the photo are rounded, plump, and slightly cupped at the sides. This pattern recreates that exact shape.
With green yarn:
Round 1: MR, 6 sc
Round 2: Inc in each st (12)
Round 3: Sc, inc around (18)
Round 4: 2 sc, inc around (24)
Round 5: Sc around (24)
Round 6: Sc around (24)
Round 7: 2 sc, dec around (18)
Round 8: Sc, dec around (12)
Do not close into a ball.
Flatten gently into a thick oval.
Leave a long tail for sewing.
The leaves will naturally cup at the edges — exactly like the photo.
🍒 Berries (Make 12–16 – small, tight spheres)
With red yarn:
Round 1: MR, 6 sc
Round 2: Inc in each st (12)
Round 3: Sc around (12)
Round 4: Dec around (6)
Stuff lightly.
Close and fasten off with a long tail.
These berries should be small and firm, matching the photo’s compact shape.
🌿 Stems (Make 10–12 – accurate flat stems, not tubes)
The stems in the photo are flat but thick, created by crocheting with two strands held together.
Using 2 strands of green yarn:
ch 28–38 (vary lengths for realistic drape)
sl st back through every chain
Fasten off, leave a long tail.
These stems hang naturally and match the photo perfectly.
🎀 Bow (Structured, flat, photo-accurate bow)
Bow Loops (Make 2)
With red yarn:
Row 1: Ch 28
Row 2: Sc in 2nd ch and across (27)
Rows 3–12: Sc across (27)
This creates a dense, flat, ribbon-like rectangle (no ribbing).
Fold the short ends together and stitch to form a loop.
Make two identical loops.
Center Wrap
With red yarn:
Ch 10
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch and across
Rows 2–4: Sc across
Wrap tightly around the two bow loops to cinch them together.
Sew ends securely at the back.
This produces the wide, structured bow seen in the photo.
🌿 Leaf Cluster Assembly (Photo-Accurate Layout)
Each stem features a natural-looking cluster:
• 2–3 leaves per stem
• 1–2 berries at the leaf base
• Leaves angled outward for volume
To assemble each stem:
- Sew 2 or 3 leaves to the top third of the stem.
- Add 1 or 2 berries near where the leaves meet.
- Adjust angles for natural drape.
Repeat for all stems until you have 10–12 full clusters.
🔔 Final Assembly
- Gather all stems together so they cascade downward in a full bunch.
- Sew stems tightly together at the top (don’t flatten — keep the natural drape).
- Attach any remaining berries to outer leaves or empty spots for balanced fullness.
- Create the hanging loop:
• Using two strands of green yarn, ch 40
• Sl st to join into a loop - Attach the loop securely to the bundled stem top.
- Sew the bow over the stem joining point, covering all attachment stitches.
- Adjust leaf and berry positions for fullness.
Optional: Lightly steam or use a tiny dab of stiffener on the bow center to keep it crisp.

• Softly rounded, thick leaves
• Plump red berries
