Autumn Leaves Falling Down Garland

I really love this time of year, autumn is my favourite season and I live for the temperatures cooling down slightly and the leaves changing colour and falling off the trees. With that in mind, I really wanted to make some autumn leaves decor to have in my house. I made some different coloured leaves but wasn’t really sure how to display them in my house. In the end I decided on a little garland to hang them all above my fireplace and I think it looks so cute and cosy now!

To make your own autumn leaf garland, you will need a 6mm crochet hook, double knit or chunky yarn in red, orange, yellow, brown and green, a pair of scissors and a yarn needle. If you are using double knit yarn, use two strands held together. Chunky yarn can be used as a single strand.
