FO, do not cut yarn if attaching directly to vine.
🌿 Stem Attachment (Built-In)
After finishing each leaf:
- ch 6–8 (this creates the short hanging stem)
- sl st back along the chain for a firm cord
- Leave yarn attached to continue into the vine
This creates the small connecting stems seen between leaves.
🪢 Continuous Vine
The vine is worked as you go, connecting leaves seamlessly.
- After finishing a leaf stem,
ch 12–18 (spacing between leaves) - sl st back along the chain
- Begin the next leaf directly from the vine
Alternate leaf colors naturally for a relaxed, organic look.
🎨 Color Placement Tips
- Avoid repeating the same color side by side
- Mix warm and neutral tones
- Random spacing creates the most natural drape
🧶 Shaping & Finishing
- Lightly tug leaf edges to encourage a soft curve
- Leaves should hang flat but not stiff
- Do not stiffen — the relaxed fabric look is intentional
- Weave in all ends securely
🏡 Styling Ideas
- Drape vertically from a mantel corner
- Hang loosely over shelves or mirrors
- Wrap gently around stair rails
- Layer with fairy lights for a cozy glow
